View from Hangman's Rock, Glen O' Downs
Scenic view of the eastern side of the Glen O'Downs from Hangman's Rock on the western side. In the valley the N11, the main artery between Dublin and Wexford. In the mid-1990's the N11 was subject to some controversy due to road-widening plans proposed by Wicklow County Council resulting in an almost 3 years lasting stand-off between the Council and a number of environmentalists and Eco-Warriors. In the end the Council was forced to scale down their widening plans.
