Want a winter walk that delivers on drama? Head for Glenmalure. Not the biggest Wicklow waterfall, but the setting makes it one of my favourites to photograph. More location details at https://www.pocket-ireland.com/places/coolalingo-waterfalls #photography #EastCoastKin #VisitWicklow #HikingIreland
A vertical shot of a split waterfall cascading over dark, moss-covered rocks in a forest setting. The water appears silky and smooth due to a long exposure effect. In the foreground, wet boulders sit in the stream, while the background features winter woodland with ferns and bare branches.

A vertical photograph looking up at a waterfall cascading down a narrow, dark rocky gorge lined with vibrant green moss and ferns. Above the gorge, a dense forest of trees with bare branches silhouettes against the sky. A bright, warm sunburst breaks through the trees in the upper right corner, casting a glow on the mist and contrasting with the shadowed valley below.

Friday night, 7pm My new video: “Rough – Wild Camping in 45mph Winds: 4 Things You Must Do.” Filmed in the Mournes in conditions that definitely kept me awake. If you’ve ever wondered how to stay safe and steady when the wind won’t quit — this one’s for you.

35mph winds straight in the face — you can feel it before you even take the first step.
There’s something strangely addictive about starting a walk when the mountain makes its intentions clear.
Cold air, low cloud, no promises… just the way I like it.

I love exploring in autumn. Yes it can get a little more uncomfortable when you have to battle the rain, but it's a time of change, a time of movement. Nature seems to be in preparation for sleep, in readiness for what is to come. #hikingireland #hikinguk

Super views down the valley in this beautiful Autumn light. The Mourne Mountains always look good.

I got to spend a very peaceful night in the tent beside the Spinkwee River in the Mourne Mountains. Crystal waters below beautiful, big, old Oak trees. #camping #mournemountains #hikingireland

A scenic view of the Irish coastline on a sunny day. In the foreground, out-of-focus stalks of pink and purple heather fill the bottom third of the frame. The rest of the image shows a steep, rocky, green cliffside on the left, sloping down into a deep blue ocean that extends to the horizon on the right. A single seagull is visible flying high in the clear blue sky.

Scorched Earth. #MountainLandscape #Wilderness #NaturePhotography #BurntLandscape #RuggedBeauty #OutdoorAdventures #HikingIreland #IrishLandscape #DesolateBeauty #SkyAndMountains #RockyOutcrop #Hillside #Aftermath #smartphonephotography #photography
A striking image of a rocky hillside, partially covered in charred and burnt vegetation, with a clear, light blue sky above. In the foreground, there are tall, dry, and reddish-brown plants, some appearing singed. The middle ground reveals the dark, sooty remains of a fire, contrasting with the grey and white tones of the exposed rocks. A few small, green coniferous trees are visible on the left side, adding a touch of life to the otherwise desolate scene. The overall mood is one of stark natural beauty and resilience after a fire.

A tall, slender grey stone chimney, part of the historic Ballycorus Lead Mine, stands prominently under a bright blue sky with a few scattered white clouds. A distinct spiral staircase winds around the exterior of the chimney. The structure is surrounded by dense, vibrant green gorse bushes and other low-lying shrubs, which frame a narrow dirt path leading towards the chimney's base in the foreground.

A dramatic landscape photo of a verdant Irish hillside under a cloudy but glowing sky. Dark green coniferous and deciduous trees crown the hill, with lighter green ferns and shrubs covering the lower slopes. Sunlight from the setting or rising sun peeks through the clouds on the right, casting a soft, warm glow on the scene. Rocky outcrops are visible on the left side of the hill, adding texture to the landscape.

Clouds roll in over the Western Mournes and seem to splash across the near slopes in the Bog Cotton in front of me as I finish walking the Mourne Wall. What a way to finish the final walk.

Have been walking the Mourne Wall in four stages, camping along the way. Anyone hiking and camping in the Mourne Mountains will know the Wall but spending time learning and walking it has given me a greater appreciation for it. #mournemountains #hikingireland #camping

I have started walking The Mourne Wall. I am walking it in four trails. My first route started with a camp on Slieve Muck and ended at Hare's Gap at the base of Slieve Bearnagh. A great day out. #mournewall #mournemountains #hikingireland #hikinguk

A wide shot of a verdant Irish landscape on a bright day. In the foreground, there are fields of bright green grass interspersed with patches of yellow gorse bushes and dark green trees. A solitary brown cow is visible grazing in one of the fields on the left. In the middle ground, a dense line of dark green trees forms a natural barrier, beyond which extends a wide valley of lush green fields and scattered woodlands. Dominating the background is the distinct, conical peak of Sugarloaf Mountain, bathed in a soft blue haze under a clear sky with a few wispy white clouds. The overall mood is serene and expansive.

Spending Easter break hiking in Wicklow was already a good call
but throw in some sunshine, and it turned perfect.
