Although many guides indicated the Wicklow way trail runs from north to south at Walking Holiday Ireland, our tours run from south to north. We do this because the southern Wicklow mountains are lower, so the walks only get a little more challenging as we near Dublin.
Please note that decent waterproof hiking boots are a must, as part of the track can be muddy and wet. Volunteers maintain the terrain and trail well, but some areas can be tricky depending on weather conditions.
