The board walk goes right up overlooking Glendalough lake and beyond. We did the entire boardwalk as part of a hike to do Mullacor and Lugduff, both Irish Hewitts. A great hike.

Hiking

Thick floorboards with steel nails to prevent slipping in wet weather. And floorboards... so you don't sink into the peat.
