Belmont

The Belmont Way

The Belmont Way is a 5.5km route that offers a varied, and at times, challenging walk, through some of north Wicklow’s most interesting landscape that includes native woodland, farmland and the shoulder of The Little Sugarloaf and its commanding views. As a liner route it can be enjoyed from either direction. Sitting neatly between the Bray Head Loop and the Sugar Loaf Way, the trail also forms a central section of the new Wicklow Uplands Way allowing for a longer, more vigorous challenge when combined with either or both options (please see the video below for more on these connected trails).

Bray Head

The Bray Head Loop

The Bray Head Loop is a 5.5km route and offers spectacular views of Bray, North East Wicklow, Dublin Bay and the Irish Sea. If starting from the Vevay Road, go to the Wilton Hotel roundabout and look for the entrance to the woodland, which is located just beside Bus Stop 4208 – Briar Wood. A map board for the trail is located just inside the gate and can be seen from the roadside. The route is marked with red arrows.
