Product Description

The 64-page guide provides general advice on planning accommodation, Glendalough’s Monastic City, history, geology & scenery, habitats & wildlife, as well as other paths across the Wicklow Mountains. Detailed route descriptions, arranged in daily stages, are preceded by a summary of each section of the route giving distance, terrain, grade & side-trips. The route is presented on five maps placed on a fold-out flap of the back cover of the guide. The maps provide somewhat generalized presentation of the topography, with altitude colouring & peaks in the surrounding countryside. The maps highlight campsites, youth hostels & bunkhouses, historic & nature sites, car parks, etc. Also marked is the course of St Kevin’s way leading westwards from the Monastic City. No geographical coordinates for GPS users are provided. The publishers themselves recommend that their guide is used in conjunction with more detailed, contoured & GPS compatible maps from the OSI, the Ordnance Survey of Irel&.
