The Dublin and Wicklow Mountains are a great place to enjoy a really good walk.. They are spoilt with an abundance of different terrain including valleys, rivers, streams, open moorland, forested areas, lakes, waterfalls, mountains, coast walks and much more. They are within an hours travel from the center of Dublin, so it couldn't be any easier. Hilltop Treks like to organise the walks in the most scenic parts of the two counties (Co. Dublin and Co. Wicklow) and offer plenty of knowledge given by the local guide. There will always be a quick briefing of the walk ahead and some safety tips. Then the walk is taken at an easy pace to suit the group. Most of the walks taken in the Dublin and Wicklow mountains are suitable for the novice walker. So come a long and enjoy a fun day out!
