Scarr

Scarr Mountain at 641 m, is the 174th–highest peak in Ireland on the Arderin scale, and the 207th–highest peak on the Vandeleur-Lynam scale. Scarr is situated in the central sector of the Wicklow Mountains range, but off main "central spine" of the range that runs from Kippure in the north, to Lugnaquillia in the south. Scarr lies on its own small massif that includes Scarr North-West Top 561 m and Kanturk 523 m; it is bounded by Lough Dan to the east and the Glenmacnass Valley on the west. Scarr's sharp peak gives it a distinctive profile amongst the rounded summits of the Wicklow mountains, and it forms the backdrop to scenic views across the Guinness Estate and Lough Dan.

Hill walking
A popular trail is the 14 km, four-to-five hour long Scarr and Kanturk Loop walk, which starts at a lay-by outside Oldbridge at the southern end of Lough Dan. The recommended route is counter-clockwise, summiting Kanturk first and then crossing to the summit of Scarr before returning to Oldbridge.
