Djouce Mountain Hike

4.10 miles (6.6 km)

Open Streetmap This walk climbs to Djouce Mountain in the Wicklow Mountains.
You can start the walk from the car park at the J.B Malone Memorial which is located just east of Lough Tay on the edge of the Ballinastoe Forest. It's a lovely spot to start from with fine views over the Lough to Luggala.
From here you can follow a boardwalk along a section of the Wicklow Way. Follow the trails north and they will take you through the forest to White Hill and then onto the summit of Djouce. At the 725 m (2,379 ft) summit you will find a trig point and stunning views across to the other Wicklow mountains.

White Hill Boardwalk

The boardwalk leading up White Hill (Wicklow, Ireland). The bog's badly eroded here due to the popularity of the Wicklow Way, so they've laid down old railway sleepers to give it some protection.

This was taken on White Hill. The three hills in the middle ground are Scarr (Scor / "Sharp Rock"), Knocknacloghoge (Cnoc na Clochóige / "Hill with Stony Bits") and Luggala (Log an Lágh / "Hollow of the Hill"). The Turlough Hill pumped hydro station is silhouetted straight ahead, while Tonelagee (Tóin le Gaoithe / "Arse to the Wind") is pushing up into the cloud.
