Spinc Trail Works 2025

To all our trail users, please note essential trail upgrades which may impact on your visit to Glendalough in coming months.
Please bear with us during these upgrades which will be in 2 phases for 2025.
The 1st phase will be to improve the trail between the boardwalk and the Glenealo bridge and is due to start on 8th July, running for about 7-9 weeks. The length of time is weather dependant. To complete this phase we will need to close the section of the White Trail between Glenealo Bridge and the junction between the White and Red trails.
Phase 1 which upgraded the stretch between the Glenealo footbridge and the red-white junction is now completed.
The 2nd phase, starting on Monday 25th August, is expected to take 12 weeks.
The 2nd phase will affect the White and Red trails. The Blue trail will remain unaffected. In Phase 2, we shall be replacing a stretch of boardwalk with a stone path. The trail from the Blue & White trail junction to the Red & White trail junction will be closed during this period of construction. There will be a detour in place on forestry roads below this section. The detour will add c.1.4 km to the Red and White routes.
Please follow all signage and check our social media for up to date information regarding closures and detours.
