Coast · mountains · forest

A full day of Wicklow trails.

The 46 km route begins on Bray harbour front. Leave behind the seaside promenade before the short, steep climb to the iconic cross on Bray Head. Here you bid farewell to your views of the Irish Sea and turn towards the mountains proper.

  1. 01 / THE CLIMBS

    Bray Head & the Sugarloafs

    Mixed terrain trails take you across Little and Great Sugarloaf Mountains, passing through scenic Belmont Estate on the way to the Wicklow Way — a 132 km walking trail stretching south from Dublin.

  2. 02 / THE HEART OF WICKLOW

    Powerscourt Waterfall

    Your journey home begins at the foot of Powerscourt Waterfall, surrounded by the landscape of the Wicklow trails.

  3. 03 / HOME TO THE SEA

    Belmont to Bray

    Return to Bray Head via Belmont Estate. The seafront finish promises a true Irish welcome.

As you approach the finish line, enjoy views across Dublin Bay before receiving a true Irish welcome in Bray.
