The landscape of Glendalough is characterized by its rugged natural beauty, where steep, green hillsides cascade down to the serene waters of the two lakes that give the valley its name. The Upper and Lower Lakes, surrounded by dense woodlands of oak, pine, and birch, reflect the sky and the lush greenery around them, creating a scene of peace and serenity.

The surrounding hills and valleys offer a network of walking trails, ranging from the easy-going Green Road walk along the Lower Lake to more challenging hikes up to the Spinc and Wicklow Way. These trails provide visitors with the opportunity to immerse themselves in the natural beauty of Glendalough, with panoramic views of the valley, cascading waterfalls, and abundant wildlife.
