LUVOUTDOORS by John Wood

There are nine way-marked walking trails in the valley of Glendalough. The walks vary from a short half hour stroll to a long four hour hillwalk. Large maps of the walks are displayed at the Visitor Centre beside the Monastic City and on the Notice Board at the Upper Lake car park. All the walks start at the National Park Information Office near the Upper Lake. Each trail is signposted with colour-coded arrows. Staff at the Information Office can help you choose a suitable route.

A map of the Walking Trails is on sale at the Information Office at the Upper Lake and from the Visitor Centre at the Monastic City. A copy of the map and descriptions of the walks are posted on the notice boards at the Upper Lake car park and at the Monastic City Visitor Centre.

Note: Special events and large groups will require a permit.

If you have any queries, contact us by telephone, email, post or in person.
Walking Trails Warning

The first icy weather of the winter has arrived. Walkers on the trails in Glendalough should be advised that boardwalks are slippery in ice and snow. This warning applies to the following routes:

* Spinc and Glenealo Valley (White route)
* Spinc and the Wicklow Way (Red route)
* Spinc Short Route (Blue route)
* Green Road Walk (Green route)

The Camino de Santiago or Way of St. James, is the pilgrimage to the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in Galicia in northwestern Spain, where legend has it that the remains of the apostle, Saint James the Great, are buried. It is difficult to define where exactly the Camino starts, as pilgrims used to start their journey from home, but over the years, different “ways” have emerged. The French Way (or Camino Frances) is by far the most popular “way”, starts in a small town of the French Pyrenees, St Jean Pied de Port and passes some of the most magnificent towns and landscapes in north Spain. The most popular section is the “Camino Last 100km“, which starts in Sarria and finishes in Santiago de Compostela in one week.

The second most popular is the Northern Way. It follows the Northern coast of the basque country, so you have the chance to go for a swim if you feel like. The most beautiful section finishing in Santiago (or “Last 100km”), is the final section of the Via de la Plata between Ourense and Santiago over 7 days. The most challenging is definitely the Original Way Section 1 from Oviedo to Lugo, through the magnificent Cantabrian Mountains. If you want a more rural experience, you can try the Portuguese Way Section 5 from Tui to Santiago de Compostela. Le Puy Way, through France, crosses beautiful national parks, using very pleasant footpaths. The Camino English Way is the route used by the English and Irish en-route to Santiago. Finally for those that wish to do more, try to go to the “End of the World”, above the cliffs of Cape Fisterra on the Finisterre Way.

Rating graphic. Djouce dominates the views of the Wicklow Mountains from Roundwood and Newtown Mountkennedy. The Old Irish word dígas is defined by the Dictionary of the Irish Language as ‘high, lofty; a height’. There is a Sliab Digsa mentioned in the Metrical Dindshenchas, where the second element is interpreted as a woman’s name. This shows that the meaning of dígas was already obscure by the time of the Metrical Dindshenchas (12th century) and a story was probably invented to account for the name.
Djouce is the 91st highest summit in Ireland. Our data has reached 80% of the goal for this summit. (Details)
