wicklore: Track 2468 in area near Carrickgollogan, Dublin/Wicklow (Ireland)
The summit and the tower
Length: 2.9km, Creator time taken: 51m01s, Ascent: 98m,
Descent: 100m

Places: Start at O22534 20384, Carrickgollogan, end at Start
Logged as completed by 3

A compact 3km walk taking less than an hour that visits both the summit and the old lead mines tower. The summit affords great views, particularly of the Great Sugar Loaf and out to the coast. A diversion to the old tower is highly recommended along forest tracks. Start and finish at the good car park with information board and map.
