Wicklow Mountains National Park

Walkers and visitors to the National Park please take note that conservation restoration works are starting today Monday 27th March at the old mine buildings at Old Hero, Glendasan on the Wicklow Gap road. https://goo.gl/maps/mrCBkDwwH14Jvnxy6

This area is a start/finish point for the Miner’s Way, and also a popular access point for exploring the Glendasan Valley, the St Kevins Way, Luganure mines and Camaderry Mountain. Although access will not be impeded, there will be a significant reduction in available car parking to facilitate site works. Please note the nearest alternative parking is Glendalough or the Wicklow Gap car parks, the St Kevin’s Way links both of these areas to the Old Hero site.

Works are estimated to take 11 weeks to complete, weather permitting. Visitors are requested to observe all safety signage on site.
