Glenealo Valley (Шаблон:Irish place name) is a national nature reserve of approximately Шаблон:Convert located in County Wicklow, Ireland. It is managed by the Irish National Parks & Wildlife Service, part of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage.

Features

Glenealo Valley was legally protected as a national nature reserve by the Irish government in 1988.[1] The reserve is primarily an open valley set within the Wicklow Mountains, with a large plateau area of peatland and mixed heathland.[2] The area was the site of a former mine, which was closed in the 1950s. A population of feral goats live in the area, descended from the goats the miners left behind in the valley when the mine was abandoned.[3]

The valley forms part of the 10km Spinc and Glenealo Valley Loop walking trail.[4][5]
