The Sugar Loaf Way Trail

The Sugar Loaf Way Trail starts at Kilmacanogue 1916 Commemorative Garden close to Kilmacanogue village and winds its way through charming little country roads and greenways along the foothills of the Great Sugar Loaf Mountain (501 Mtrs), in times past this was the original coach road from Kilmacanogue to Roundwood.

Known locally as the “Car Road” the trail follows a route roughly parallel to the R755 but as it climbs, wonderful views over the Little Sugar Loaf, Bray and Carrigoona open up.

Travelling through little narrow lanes bordered with old stone walls, the trail turns South and begins to climb upwards through open mountain grazing where views over Djouce, Powerscourt, Deerpark and Maulin can be enjoyed. The trail eventually joins the Sugar Loaf Trail, a well-used path from the Sugar Loaf car park to the summit, the Sugar Loaf Way continues to the car park.  The Sugar Loaf way is a linear walk which can be started at either end.

Grade: Strenuous
Distance: 4.6km
Estimated time: 1.3hrs
