Wandelgids Wicklow Way walking guide - Cicerone
Productomschrijving: De Wicklow Way was ooit het eerste langeafstandswandelpad dat in Ierland werd aangelegd. De route komt uit op 132 km (81 mijl) en doorkruist het graafschap Wicklow, van Marlay Park aan de rand van Dublin tot Clonegal, net over de provinciegrens in het naburige Carlow, en kan comfortabel in een week worden voltooid. De gids beschrijft ook verschillende aangrenzende paden die kunnen worden verwisseld met de hoofdroute, en korte omwegen buiten de route, leiden naar gastvrije dorpen met accommodatie en een scala aan andere faciliteiten.
Engelse omschrijving: The Wicklow Way was the first long-distance walking trail to be established in Ireland. Coming in at 130km (81 miles), the route traverses the county of Wicklow, from Marlay Park on the outskirts of Dublin to Clonegal, just over the county border in neighbouring Carlow, and can be comfortably completed in a week. The guide also details several adjacent trails that can be interchanged with the main route, and short detours off-route (also described) lead to welcoming villages offering accommodation and a range of other facilities.
The route is presented in seven stages, each with an overview followed by clear route description and mapping. There are elevation profiles and notes on local points of interest. In addition to background information about the county's history, geology, plants and wildlife, you will find all the information you need to walk the route, with helpful advice on transport, accommodation and kit. Accommodation listings, useful contacts and a glossary of Irish place-names can be found in the appendices.
Wicklow is a county of varied landscapes: mountains and sweeping uplands offer extensive views, whereas other stages take you through verdant glens and past scenic lakes. The area is rich in both culture and history, with the ancient Monastic City at Glendalough a special highlight. And of course, there are characterful villages and pubs where you can experience true Irish hospitality. The Wicklow Way has plenty to commend it and is a great way to explore this wonderful county.
