Glendalough Upper Lake on a fine summer's day. Many good hikes start here but it gets busy with tourists in the spring and summer. Even if not hiking it's a good spot for lunch. #hiking #nature #landscape #photography #Ireland #EastCoastKin - ThreadSky

Just beautiful Den. Now there’s a place worth hiking to. 👌

Thanks Alan. It's a beautiful place, though you have to start early to beat the crowds.

There are so many hikes in that area! You can start here, end here or pass through as part of other trails. Loads of ways to make a whole day of it.

That’s excellent Den. Love places like that, where you can decide what to include and where to start and end. Yes it’s the same round here with the crowds, only in good weather though. Not hardened any season trekkers like us. One drop of rain and they’re back in the car and heading home. 😂

Beautiful place to sit a while 😊

It really is. I've had breakfast and lunch there many times.

I was there last September when I hiked the Wicklow Way. It was a rainy day. 🙂

Exactly the same spot! Oh that's no fun in the rain though. It's quite exposed at the top of the loop.

It's a shame you were unlucky with the rain, we had a week of uninterrupted sunshine last September.
