Located in the north-eastern section of the Wicklow Mountains, its summit offers savage panoramic views across the mountainous landscape, Dublin city and over the Irish sea. Standing at 501 metres, the Sugarloaf is by no means the highest mountain in Ireland, but it’s a rewarding one to conquer at any time of the year. You can tackle the Sugarloaf hike from the little car park right beside it (the short walk) or from the car park at Fitzsimons Park GAA ground (the long walk). You’ll find info on both version of the walk below. The short route takes around an hour or so to reach the top and get back down. Allow more time to soak up the views. The long Sugarloaf hike takes around 2.5 hours.

Only 2km away is Greystones beach, perfect for a long walk anytime of day. it stretches from South beach all the way down coast to the harbour, with a few great swimming spots along the way. The cove is a great place to go for a dip- then pop across the road to use the sauna (Fad Saoil Saunas) or go for a warming cuppa in The Rise cafe. We feel very lucky to have such a gorgeous coastline just down the road, and like to get there as often as we can for a walk or a swim.
