While the natural beauty of the Wicklow Mountains is well known, few of the mountains’ recreational users realise the rich cultural heritage of the Wicklow uplands area. Heritage Hiking Wicklow is here to change this. Heritage Hiking Wicklow is a citizen heritage project showcasing the unique history and mythology of the Wicklow Mountains in an engaging and accessible way through blogposts, social media, and podcasts. By breathing new life into old stories, this project aims both to revitalise Irish storytelling traditions, and to encourage more mindful and respectful behaviour among recreational mountain users.
