On this hike we follow part of the Wicklow Way before turning onto a grassy path that heads uphill as we ascend first Brockagh East and then Brockagh, (556 metres), a broad hill of heather and granite boulders. From here we get wonderful views of the surrounding hills and valleys before returning to Glendalough via the pilgrim route of St. Kevin’s Way.
