    Hiking

    The Spinc ridge overlooking the spectacular Glendalough Valley makes for one of the finest if not 'the' finest hikes in the Wicklow Mountains National Park. A tough climb rewards you with breathtaking views of the Glendalough Valley, the lake and the surrounding Wicklow mountains. Along with the sights at the monastic centre this makes for a world class hike. To top it off you get to meet a lot of Irish people who are simply world class in their own right!
