On a cold blustery Sunday we set out to explore at Blessington lakes. There’s no obvious parking spots so we parked opposite the start of the trail, which was marked by a purple bucket on a stick. (no really!) There were no markers or information boards but in spite of this we found it an easy walk to navigate. The peak of Lugnagun is hard to find but Sorrel Hill summit is marked with a large cairn. Sorrel Hill boasts spectacular views of the Dublin and Wicklow mountains and Blessington lakes. There are very few walkers and it is well worth a visit – an unexploited gem.
