Autumn · Wicklow

Glendalough

A glacial valley where monastic ruins, two lakes, woodland and mountain trails create one of Wicklow’s most rewarding walking areas.

Why visit in autumn

A rewarding seasonal stop.

Autumn colour around the lakes adds depth to the landscape once the main summer crowds begin to ease.

What to look for

  • Monastic City
  • Upper and Lower Lakes
  • Spinc walking routes
  • Glendalough woodland

Plan it well

Choose a trail suited to daylight and conditions. Parking can remain busy at weekends and during fine weather.
