On Saturday August 16th, to mark Heritage Week 2025, we will be hosting a guided walk from Wicklow Gap car park at 10am. The walk will focus on the plants, wildlife, and built heritage of this area of the Wicklow Mountains National Park, and will also include discussion on conservation and restoration works currently underway in the area.

Please dress for the outdoors and wear warm clothing, good shoes or walking boots, and bring waterproofs, just in case. Insect repellent is also recommended and, as this is an outdoor walk, there is a risk of tick bites - participants should be sure to check for ticks after the walk.
