Sweet spot all round
by march-fixer  7 May 2012 Located to the east of Donard in west Wicklow, it is nicely tucked away at the head of a number of lovely glens. Most walkers seem to approach from the south or west, whereas I think it is best approached from the north, either as part of a walk from Corriebracks or in its own right from the very scenic road leading into the glen and Lugglass Lower. This glen road in is reached either from the Hollywood or Wicklow Gap direction.

My reasoning is that the glen road in from the north is a visual treat on its own and brings you to a forest entrance. From here you may follow the forest track a good distance to the top. See track-1569 for directions. There is a little bit of rough ground from where you leave the track up to the edge of the forest.

While there is some erosion on the east-west track, there is no sign of damage by access from the north. It is a lovely view, from a rather flat top, should you be blessed with good weather.

There is a fair chance that you will not meet any other walkers on your travels up here.
