The famous Glenmalure Zig Zag walk in Wicklow has been shut to the public following an alleged assault on the landowner by a dog walker.
The popular route provides access from the base of Carrawaystick Waterfall towards Lugnaquilla. It is located entirely on private lands, owned by Pat Dunne.
The Zig-Zags were first developed in 2007 as an "Agreed Access Route", facilitated through a formal Permissive Access Agreement between Mr Dunne and County Wicklow Partnership. First developed in 2007, Mr Dunne was one of the first landowners in the country to permit an agreed access route across his lands.
