Seahan, Seefingan & Seefin Mountains, Co. Dublin/ Wicklow
Take a look at some fascinating archaeological sites, including several Neolithic tombs, as you make your way around the 10km hill walk.
The steep, uphill climb isn’t one for the faint hearted, however, as it’s open mountainside features a 560m ascent.
Nevertheless, these mountains are a fabulous way to spend a winter’s day, and a great excuse to hop up off the sofa.
