Glendalough
Croghan Walk Raheenalagh
Wind Farm
Glendalough (27.5 km from
Hotel)
Croghan Mountain (8 km from
Hotel)
There are nine way-marked
walking trails in the valley of
Glendalough. The National Park
extends over much of the
Wicklow mountains.
This walk has been improved
through 2016 with the development
of the Raheenalagh Wind Farm.
Upland blanket bog and heath
cover the upland slopes and
rounded peaks. The wide-open
vistas are interrupted only by
forestry plantations and narrow
winding mountain roads. Fastflowing streams descend into the
deep lakes of the wooded valleys
and continue their course into the
surrounding lowlands.
The most visited area is the
scenic Glendalough Valley where
the ancient monastic settlement
of St. Kevin is located.
Enjoy the stunning scenery from the
top of Croghan Mountain whilst
experiencing the true height of a
Wind Turbine.
Sponsored by Coillte and ESB, this
route has new paths and trails all
located in a traditional woodland
area, just look out for the Deer!
