Tour of Wicklow and Glendalough from Dublin

Glendalough and Wicklow Tour from Dublin written by Linda

I recently went on Hilltop Trek’s Tour of Wicklow and Glendalough and would highly recommend it! Why? Well, what I personally liked about this tour was that it was on a mini bus with max capacity of 16 people. The advantages of this being the minibus is able to visit area’s the larger buses can’t reach. We drove through country scenic roads over the Wicklow Mountains and took in a lot of the popular scenic spots along the way. The mini bus offers a more intimate tour. You can get to know your fellow passengers and have the “craic” along the way!

Let me give you a run down of this tour..

Lugnaquilla is the highest peak in the Wicklow Mountains at 1003m and the highest in Ireland outside of Co Kerry. On a clear day, the views from the summit are truly awesome. You will see most of the east of the country and Wales on the other side of the Irish Sea.

Guided Walks in Wicklow

Guided walks in Wicklow, Written by John Kelleher.

I started walking with HilltopTreks over ten years ago, and over the years have enjoyed many walks both here in Ireland and in recent years in Europe.

While Wicklow is usually where we conduct most of our walks, we have over the years spent pleasant week-ends away walking in the Comeraghs, Galtees, Slievenamon, Donard, Mournes, Connemara, Ben Bulbin to name just some. In recent years we have travelled to the Dolomites in Northern Italy, Bratislavia in Romania and a group of us also hill walked in Southern Spain near Marbella.

Hill Walking in Ireland

Now, I know, I may be biased but I think Ireland is a great place to go hill walking or a hiking. For such a small island, it offers a huge variety of landscapes to explore. With coastal routes to mountain climbs and child-friendly trails.
