ADHD Adults Guided Walk at Lough Bray, Co. Wicklow

Lough Bray is a glacial lake high in the Wicklow Mountains above Enniskerry, sitting in a corrie carved by ice-age glaciers. The walk up from the car park on the R115 takes you past Upper and Lower Lough Bray with views across a landscape that manages to feel genuinely remote despite being less than an hour from Dublin city centre. It’s one of the best short walks in the Dublin/Wicklow hills.

This particular walk is organised specifically for adults with ADHD. The thinking is straightforward: time in nature, particularly time moving through it, has documented benefits for attention and mood regulation. A guided group walk provides structure, company, and a shared experience with people who understand what ADHD is actually like.

What to Expect

A guided hike of moderate difficulty at Lough Bray, meeting at the car park on the R115. The terrain is open hillside and rocky path. The pace is social rather than competitive. The guide knows the route and knows the community they’re walking with.

This is a morning event starting at 10am on a Saturday. April in Wicklow means variable weather - conditions can be clear and mild or changeable. The walk itself takes around two to three hours depending on pace and how much time is spent taking in the view.

• Sturdy footwear is essential; trail shoes or hiking boots
