Wicklow is home to a large population of wild deer. They are particularly impressive in autumn when they 'rut'. Staff of the Wicklow Mountains National Park will have telescopes set up on the Spinc walking trail between 11.00am and 4.00pm. Anyone walking this route can stop by, view the deer through the telescopes and discuss the deer and their ecology with our staff.

Times: 11.00am and 4.00pm.
