Best Day Hike Near Dublin: Walking Trails of Glendalough

Wicklow Mountain National Park is the perfect day trip from Dublin for nature and day hiking. We rented a car and drove the 1 hour to the gorgeous Glendalough valley with a few friends for a lovely day hike.

We hiked the White Trail: Spinc and Glenealo Valley. It’s an 11 kilometer (6.84 miles) roundtrip hike from the Visitor’s Center Lower Lake. The trail passes the Poulanass Waterfall then steeply ascends 600 wooden stairs. The climb is definitely worth the panoramic views of Glendalough Upper Lake along the wooden plank boardwalk at the top.

It can be fairly strenuous, so make sure you bring some water and snacks and hike within your limits.

Our biggest lesson learned included: the weather in Ireland is fickle and changes constantly. Dress in layers, bring a rain jacket, and try not to let the weather faze you. Seriously, during the pouring rain, Irish families were beginning their hike from the other direction.
