There is something rather special about stepping outside and finding the Wicklow countryside right on your doorstep. Surrounded by rolling hills, woodland and peaceful country roads, Macreddin is a wonderful place to slow down, breathe in the fresh country air and explore at your own pace.

For guests staying at BrookLodge & Macreddin Village, the Macreddin Village Trail offers an easy way to discover more of the beautiful countryside surrounding the village.

Step Into the Countryside

Beginning at BrookLodge, the trail winds its way through the peaceful surroundings of Macreddin, following quiet country roads and woodland lanes along the way.

The route offers a lovely mix of open countryside, forest scenery and glimpses of the surrounding Wicklow landscape, with plenty of opportunities to pause, take in the views and enjoy the quieter side of Macreddin.

A Little Time in Nature

Whether you are an enthusiastic walker or simply looking to stretch your legs during your stay, the trail is a wonderful way to spend a few hours outdoors.

As the seasons change, so does the landscape. From fresh spring greenery and summer wildflowers to the rich colours of autumn and the peaceful stillness of winter, there is always something different to notice along the way.

Keep an eye out for the wildlife and wild plants that call the surrounding countryside home, and take your time to enjoy the sights and sounds of nature.

Back to Macreddin

After your walk, there is no need to go far to continue enjoying the village. Return to BrookLodge and take some time to relax, perhaps with a visit to The Wells Spa, or enjoy one of the dining experiences available throughout Macreddin Village.

Take the Scenic Route

The Macreddin Village Trail is a simple reminder that sometimes you don’t need to go far to find a little adventure.

Step outside BrookLodge, follow the trail, take in the Wicklow countryside and let the pace of the day slow down.

Whether you spend the rest of your day exploring more of Wicklow or simply return to the comfort of Macreddin, it is all part of the experience of discovering this special corner of the Garden of Ireland.
