Glendalough boardwalk and valley Below

This photograph shows the boardwalk in Glendalough overlooking the valley below. It was built using old unused railway sleepers. There was a great need for this boardwalk as the route along the top of the Spinks cliffs in Glendalough is a popular route taken by many walkers. Over use of this walk in recent times had resulted in trail erosion close to the cliff edge which was very dangerous to the unsuspecting walker. The boardwalk itself is about 2 and a half miles long and has viewing spots along the way to admire the beautiful valley with the upper and lower lakes below. There are many known walks that meet up with the boardwalk in Geldalough, passing by Lugduff, Gelnmalour and other areas along the Wicklow Way.
