Overview

Itinerary

Itinerary for 5-Day Self-Guided Wicklow Way Hiking Tour

Day 1

Arrival in Dublin

Overnight Location - B&B in Dublin | Distance - None | Meals - None

Arrive in Dublin, Ireland’s capital and largest city. Check into your accommodations where your welcome pack will be waiting for you, including route guides and contact information. The evening is yours to enjoy. In Dublin, it’s not hard to find things to do!

Day 2

The Dublin Mountains

Overnight Location - B&B in Enniskerry | Distance - 4 hours, 17km, 665m of ascent, 502m of descent | Meals - Breakfast

The day starts with a short transfer to Marlay Park on Dublin’s southern fringe. This beloved park is where you’ll set off on the Wicklow Way!

Your first major landmarks are the Dublin Mountains, stretching south into County Wicklow. Ascend and cross the hills, taking in endless views of the surrounding mountains and the Irish Sea. Descend into the wooded Glencree Valley, at the base of which are your accommodations.

Day 3

Hills & Waterfalls

Overnight Location - B&B in Roundwood | Distance - 5-6 hours, 23km, 828m of ascent, 866m of descent | Meals - Breakfast

A great day of adventure awaits! Start off hiking through the valley, coming to the base of the Powerscourt Waterfall, the tallest in all of Ireland. Ascend around the side of Djouce Mountain on your way up to the peak of White Hill.

Your descent into the village of Roundwood takes you past two incredible glacial lakes, Lough Tay and Lough Dan. Lough Tay in particular is worth a stop to drink in the idyllic scene.

Take plenty of time to explore and enjoy the monastic city and its beautiful surroundings. When you’re finished, head back to Laragh for your final evening on the Wicklow Way.
