A stunning fantastic must do hike is the Glendalough hike which allows you to really immerse yourself and be one with nature. There are nine way-stamped strolling trails in the valley of Glendalough. The strolls fluctuate from a short half hour walk around a long four-hour hill walk. Enormous maps of the strolls are shown outside the National Park Information Office and at the OPW Visitor Center next to the Monastic City. All the strolls start and finish at the National Park Information Office close to the Upper Lake. Each trail is signposted with shading coded bolts. Staff at the Information Office can assist you with picking an appropriate course.
Bray to Greystones cliff walk
Mar 17, 2020 10:28:23 AM / by Cathal McCrory posted in ThingstodoDublin, DayOffDublin
This walk is one of the highlights of walking in Ireland. It is approximately 7 Kilometres and takes around 2.5 hours to walk, the route takes you from Bray to Greystones along the gorgeous coastal path. The pathway laid out is well maintained and is located near the rail line so you can return by dart to the starting point. It is around 25 minute walk from the dart to start the cliff walk and you make your way to the beach from Bray station then follow the beach south all the way to the end. The walk starts here and you have great views of the sea on your left and the hillside on the right. The views from the cliff are beautiful and the surface can get stony at times so I would recommend wearing runners as they are probably the best shoes to wear as the path is very well maintained but during the winter parts can be quite muddy whereas in the summer its completely dry.
Powerscourt Waterfall

Powerscourt Waterfall is Ireland's most elevated at 121m (398ft). It is set in North County Wicklow simply outside Enniskerry Village. The heavenly Waterfall falls down over the stone rocks from the peatlands above. The perfectly clear water streams down to the waterway beneath where it proceeds on its excursion out to the ocean at Bray. The valley itself was cut out by an ice sheet during the ice age! Today Powerscourt is an asylum for a portion of Ireland's untamed life, vegetation. The Sikka deer were first presented here by Lord Powerscourt in 1858. The Waterfall is best observed soon after overwhelming precipitation and the sheer volume of water and commotion is unquestionably an incredible sight.
