Glenmalure Youth Hostel - Book Today
Tucked away in the stunning Glenmalure Valley - a 20km glacial valley in County Wicklow's "Garden of Ireland" - Glenmalure Youth Hostel offers a peaceful and rustic escape for hikers and nature lovers.
Perched above the valley, this intimate, cottage-style hostel may lack modern conveniences, but it more than makes up for it with its unique charm, gas lighting, and clean, fresh river water for washing and cooking. It’s a tranquil retreat perfect for those seeking simplicity and serenity in the heart of nature.
Rich in history and surrounded by dramatic landscapes, the hostel sits near the site of the 798 Battle of Glenmalure and in a region once home to notable figures like playwright J.M. Synge and Maud Gonne McBride, muse to poet W.B. Yeats. Ideal as a base for walking and hiking adventures, Glenmalure Youth Hostel offers a rare opportunity to unplug and immerse yourself in both the natural beauty and cultural heritage of Wicklow.
