Wicklow Mountains National Park

Protected landscape

Plan time to explore it properly.

High mountain ground, blanket bog, deep valleys and the Glendalough monastic landscape form Ireland’s largest continuous upland national park.

The park is best approached as a protected landscape rather than a single attraction. Routes, facilities and access arrangements vary across the site, while weather can change quickly in exposed mountain, coastal and bog environments. Review current official information before choosing a walk or arrival point.

  • Glendalough
  • Spinc trails

Before you travel
