Continuing onward, the route meanders through serene forests and rolling landscapes, leading you to Oldbridge for a well-earned rest. The final leg takes you deeper into the rugged beauty of County Wicklow, with expansive views and peaceful trails guiding you to Laragh, the gateway to the historic monastic site of Glendalough.
