What's this trip about?

    We will be taking a scenic route on our way to Glendalough where you will be spending the first night. Along the way we will visit some of north Wicklow’s scenic highlights such as the Wicklow Mountains National Park, The Sally Gap, the beautiful Lough Tay and the Guinness family estate to name a few. Mount Brandon is a blessed mountain and there is a pilgrim trail to its summit and is one if Irelands holiest. It is less than 1000m but even though it is a pilgrim walk it is quite a challenge. We will follow this drive from Dingle to the Slea head and onto the view point for the Blasket Islands.
