Devil’s Glen Wood

Check out Devil’s Glen outside Ashford, Co. Wicklow. Why is it called Devil’s Glen, does anyone know? I read somewhere that the roar of the Varty before it was dammed up echoed through the valley earning the glen its name. Is that a load of hooey?! Either way, it’s about a 45 minute drive from Dublin and this 4-5 km woodland stretch is sure to blow away the cobwebs without being so taxing that you need to be carried home! PLUS you aren’t far from scrummy nibbles after your walk! Get moving, lazy bones!

PS: maybe someone can explain why the photographs are upside down? I tried righting it but there was no provision for rotating them. am i missing something?
