A 6.6 km circuit that starts from the free Crone Woods car park, west of Enniskerry, and climbs through the woods, sharing the first kilometres with the Wicklow Way. At the top, the Ride Rock viewpoint looks out over Powerscourt Waterfall, with the Great Sugar Loaf opposite and, on clear days, Dublin Bay. You come down with views of the Glencree valley.
It takes about two and a half hours with 350 metres of ascent: Discover Ireland rates it as demanding. Follow the arrows on red discs with footprints. With children, it is better from ten or twelve years old and with walking boots. Dogs are allowed.
