Brockagh Resource Centre

Would you like to walk more but feel unsure about joining a walking group or heading out alone?

Perhaps it has been a while since you last went for a proper walk, or you would simply enjoy some friendly company.

Our first 'Friday at Brockagh' morning includes a relaxed 3km Woodland Walk & Talk through Brockagh Woods. We'll walk together at a comfortable pace, with time to pause, chat and enjoy the woodland around us. Shorter options will be available if needed.

You don't need to consider yourself "a walker" and no specialist walking gear is required. Comfortable clothes, a waterproof coat and trainers or walking shoes with good grip are all you need.

This free guided walk is part of with Get Ireland Walking

Join us afterwards at Brockagh Resource Centre to relax and chat over tea, coffee and fresh scones for only €5. You are also very welcome to come for refreshments without taking part in the walk. ☕

📅 Friday 25th September
⏰ 10.30am
📍 Brockagh Resource Centre, Laragh, Glendalough, Co. Wicklow, A98 D3H1

Booking is essential for the walk, so drop us a line or give us a ring:
