More Hill Walking
We have loads of hill walking events coming up over the next couple of months so you can get great value out of your hiking boots!
Each month we will join an expert hill walking company to take part in their Wicklow walks.
Mt Maulin
Starting from the Car Park in Crone wood where we meet. We will join the Wicklow Way through a forested track and out onto the side of Ireland’s highest Watrefall “Powerscourt”.
Following the trail up and along this waterfall we come out to an opening and cross an old stone wall and onto a path leading up to the top of Maulin, where we can stop for some lunch. We will then continue on to Tonduff Soth and North. From here we will follow a ridge in an easterly direction towards a dry stone wall and folloe this back down to the start of the walk.
We will have excellent views across all of the Dublin Wicklow mountains and depending on weather Wales can also be seen from here.
The man-made features in this beautiful part of Wicklow – dry stone walls, romantic little cottages, fields bearing the marks of long gone potato ridges – blend perfectly with the landscape and only serve to enhance the feeling of timelessness.
