The Spinc Trail, Glendalough - Glendalough Monastic Settlement is one of Dublin’s best day trips and this hike gets you the best view of the entire valley from its highest point. It’s a fairly strenuous hike but shouldn’t take more than 4 hours to complete and that includes stopping for breathers and photos. On the way you’ll pass an abandoned miner’s village from the 18th century and you’ll definitely encounter wild deer up on the mountain pass. It’s our favourite hike. #hiking #mountains #views #dublin
