This section of the Way provides some great elevated views of Dublin city, as well as passing by the Hellfire Club, where, according to local legend a mysterious stranger with cloven hooves showed up one night to a group of satanic worshipers. This is also the section where the Way leaves Dublin and enters Co Wicklow, encountering such treasures as Sugar Loaf Mountain before reaching the village of Kockree. view comments |
