“Some trails test your legs. The Spinc at Glendalough tests your sense of wonder.”

Climbing past Poulanass Waterfall, you rise through forest and onto a cliffside boardwalk that suddenly spills into one of Ireland’s most unforgettable views: the Upper Lake stretched out like silver between dark, glacial walls.

The Spinc and Glenealo Valley Loop is a 9 km adventure of ridges, valleys, and history, where every turn feels like a new story. Pack layers, good boots, and a spirit for the wild—because up here, the weather shifts as quickly as the light, and the reward is always worth it.

At AllRoads, we believe the right gear turns a tough hike into a great one. This is the trail that proves it.
