The view of Lough Tay is simply stunning, with its deep blue waters contrasting against the surrounding emerald green hills. It's a sight that captivates visitors and photographers, offering a glimpse of the natural beauty of the Wicklow Mountains.

J. B. Malone Memorial Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

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.

Djouce Boardwalk

Highlight • Trail

From J. B. Malone Memorial stone, up to the Djouce Peak there is a Board Walk, to avoid compromise the protected natural vegetation and surrounding. Handy to hike on, the Board Walk help to avoid the muddy terrain and large puddles that often form here, all year around. Sometimes the terrain become a kind of swamp. The Board Walk is part of The Wicklow Way and extend forward both the J. B. Malone Memorial stone end Djouce Peak both way.

Climb-Over Passage on the Wicklow Way Boardwalk

Highlight • Rest Area

From the J. B. Malone Memorial stone, up to Djouce Peak there is a Board Walk, to avoid compromising the protected natural vegetation and the surrounding environment. The beginning of the Board Walk is marked by a passage to climb over. The Passage is ideally placed to prevent bicyclists from passing, although by now a side trail has formed that bypasses the obstacle.
