Guiding Older Adults Through Ireland's Natural Beauty
gonowsurvey Ltd specializes in beginner-friendly walking trails across Wicklow's most stunning river gorges. We're making outdoor exploration accessible, safe, and truly rewarding for adults over 55.
Why We Started This
We realized something important. The most beautiful trails in Wicklow weren't being shared with the people who could enjoy them most — active older adults looking for manageable, scenic walks. We're changing that. gonowsurvey Ltd was born from the belief that age shouldn't limit adventure. It's simply about finding the right trails with the right guidance.
Carefully Curated Routes
Every trail we recommend has been walked, tested, and measured for accessibility. Flat sections, water crossings, and rest spots are all mapped out in advance. You won't discover unexpected challenges halfway through your day.
Local Expertise That Matters
Our guides know these trails intimately — not just the paths, but the history, geology, and seasonal changes. We're passionate about sharing Wicklow's story, not just its views.
Genuine Community Focus
We've built this around real conversations with older walkers. Your feedback shapes our recommendations. Your safety drives our decisions. You're not just a customer — you're part of how we improve.
Our Signature Trail
The Devils Glen Waterfall Loop is where most of our walkers begin. It's not just scenic — it's genuinely manageable. About 5 kilometers, gentle elevation changes, and you're rewarded with one of Wicklow's most dramatic waterfalls.
What makes it special isn't just the landscape. We've identified every resting spot, marked the firmest ground for wet conditions, and provided detailed information about what you'll encounter. Walkers tell us they feel confident, not anxious. That's the whole point.

What We Stand Behind
Honest Assessment
We'll never oversell a trail. If it's genuinely challenging, we'll say so. You're making decisions based on facts, not marketing language.
Continuous Improvement
We update our trail information regularly. New resting areas get added. Better routes get discovered. We're always refining the experience.
Accessibility First
Every decision we make asks: "Does this serve walkers with different mobility levels?" If not, we rethink it. Inclusion isn't an afterthought.
Environmental Respect
We care deeply about preserving these landscapes. Our guides practice leave-no-trace principles. We're stewards, not just visitors.
