de Dublin, si la météo le permet passez par la military road voici les infos pertinentes
Military road
The Military Road is a scenic route through the
centre of the mountains. Starting in the Dublin Hills the road (R115)
runs south all the way to Laragh village near Glendalough and
continues further south through Glenmalure and Aghavannagh. It is
along this road that you will see the unpopulated and extensive heath
and boglands that make up most of the Park. This is the first ever
purpose built road in Ireland constructed by the British Army in the
early 1800’s to drive rebels out of the Wicklow Mountains. The road is
narrow, windy and at times quite bumpy. A detour from the Military
Road at the Sally Gap crossroads towards Roundwood along the R759 will
bring you above Lough Tay. The estate below is privately owned but
the views from the road are outstanding.
Winter road conditions
Often during the winter there are road closures due to snow and ice.
Occasionally there are difficulties due to flooding or fallen trees.
If in doubt contact the Duty Ranger (087 9803899) or the National
Park Information Office (0404 45425). Many rescues occur because of
poor decisions on the roads – please err on the side of caution.
Roads susceptible to closures during winter;
The Sally Gap, including the Military Road (R115), going from
Ballyboden to Laragh, and the R759 going from Blessington to
Roundwood. The Wicklow Gap (The R756 going from Hollywood to Glendalough) The R755, from Aghavannagh to Glenmalure to Laragh. pour
la visite de Glendalough, j’avais été satisfaite de loger à Rathdrum à
l’auberge de jeunesse old (c’est ouvert) le village comporte plusieurs
pubs , dont un dédié à la bande dessinée, et une superette pour les
courses.
Laragh qui est plus proche de Glendalough n’a pas grand chose sur place
