Wicklow

Like most people, I have a love affair with Ireland, especially its mountains, in particular the ones on the eastern coast. From the romantic charm of the rolling high hills of Wicklow National Park to the forested tops of the lower hills that are dotted in the inland areas, and all along the coast from Bray down to Arklow, there is something for everybody here in Wicklow. After several trips to Ireland, I have hiked and completed all of the Hewitts and Marilyns in Wicklow County. Here are the routes I used to attain the tops of those hills.A note on start points: There will either be a car park or parking at the start point. However, in some of the rural locations, it may be limited to 1-2 parking spots. A note on routes and highlights used: At times, shorter routes will include highlights that are worth taking time out to visit, some for an hour or so, a museum or other attraction, maybe. The longer routes will include highlights that are more scenically oriented, so as not to detract from the time taken as part of a longer mountain route. A note on off-grid sections: If the route is displaying an off grid section, this indicates that there is no defined path routed on OSM (Open Street Map). Sometimes, there will be a path of sorts, but it may be indistinct or limited. However, sometimes in the more remote sections of the Wicklow, there is simply no footpath. In this case, expect rough but passable terrain. Please get in touch if you need further information.
