In addition to the magnificent view of Lough Tay, you will find a memorial stone here that was erected in honor of John James Bernard Malone. Malone was a hiking enthusiast whose idea of a long-distance hiking trail through the Wicklow Mountains ultimately led to the inauguration of the Wicklow Way. Malone was considered the expert for hiking through the national park. In 1966 he carried out the first guided hike in the national park. Without him, the wonderful path in its form might not exist today.

Hiking

The view is breathtakingly beautiful. A seat is available. So just take a seat and enjoy.
In August, the heather flowers here and colors the hills pink/purple.
Looks great.
