Loopwalks Dublin mountains?

Einhard · 2012-07-22 18:52:11

Hey, I'm interested in doing some walking in the Dublin mountains. I've been on the official site, and the Coilte Outdoors one, and while they give information on specific walks, they seem to be relatively short. I'd be looking at walking maybe four hours, and arriving back at the same point, preferably a carpark. I'd love…

I'd love to do something around the Hellfire club, but the routes there seem to be quite short. is it possible to combine routes in that area? If not, does anyone know a longer route?

Thanks.

Drive to Cruagh Woods (or Tibradden) car park, walk up to Glendoo, then east along the Wicklow-Dublin County boundary to Prince Williams Seat. From here follow the Wicklow Way back towards Dublin, then where it joins the Dublin Mountains Way near Tibradden follow this trail back to Cruagh.

About 17km IIRC.
