Any idea where this is?

This is actually worth watching in full but can anyone identify the Wicklow location at 1:20?

Thanks

That's a great video!

Bit of a guess on the location, but would it be somewhere like Lug?

Probably best way to be sure is to post on YouTube directly and ask the film makers.

Thanks

I should have thought of that :-)

Let us know though! I'm curious myself.

Looks like Lough Dan to my eyes

Edit... Scratch that. Was looking at 1:13

1:13 is the Glenmacnass waterfall; one of my favourite spots in Wicklow.

Jeeze, I must have been having a total brain-fart last night. You're correct of course. It was the prior scene I was trying to reference (with total innacuracy).

I had an initial idea it might be Carrigshouk viewed from the south but it's not quite the right shape. The tree (rowan?) in the foreground is the clue I think, there's not that many around like that on open ground in that general area, so if you can identify the tree you'll have it.

Yeah, I was thinking along those lines too. Was trying to work out what the hill in the background on the right is. It's a useful clue as well, as it appears relatively large, and would appear to have a steeper cut in the middle (so possibly Tonlagee with the cut being logh Ouler)

The tree is what caught my eye Alun. It looks like an interesting scene and while I have photographed a lot of solitary trees in Wicklow over the years I do not know this one and it is bugging me. Having said that the ridge line with glimpse of higher ground behind is vaguely familiar.

Will post back if I get any further with it

It is apparently on the bit of land between Lough Bray upper and lower. The ridge is the Eagles Crag...perspective may be a flattened by the lens I suspect.

I've been there many times, and I'm struggling to see how that can be it to be honest. Is that info from the author of himself?

I took a trip up on Thursday to take a look but had limited time and could not park anywhere near Lough Bray. May take a look during next week.

If I can find the tree I will get a photograph and post it here for comparison.

Certainly looks like it.

I should get up there Thursday. Away photographing another well known tree in the Mournes tomorrow (as well as climbing Slievelamagan and Binnian) :-))
