Don Baldwin takes us on an enjoyable trek along the Wicklow Mountains
Just south of Dublin city, the soft rolling outline of the Wicklow Mountains begin their steady advance to the south west, marching inexorably through the counties of Dublin, Wicklow, Carlow and Wexford; forming the largest continuous upland area on the island of Ireland.
Beneath the mountains’ soft exterior of deep blanket bog, stretches the greatest expanse of granite rock to be found anywhere in Ireland or Britain.
Today, the Wicklow Mountains owe much of their present topography to the dramatic effects of the last ice age, which gouged out steep-sided valleys and glacial corries, resulting in a rich collection of attractive lakes and striking waterfalls.
