Great Sugar Loaf is a mountain that belongs to the Wicklow Range in the county of the same name in Ireland. Interestingly, the name of the ascent translates as "sugar loaf". Right next to the Great Sugar Loaf, which is 501 meters above sea level, there is Little Sugar Loaf.
The mountain seems massive and much higher than it really is. This illusion appears due to the steep slopes of the Great Sugar Loaf and the fact that the hill stands out in terms of color from the Wicklow range. It is built of quartzite formed in the Cambrian, while the rest of the mountains are granite rocks, the genesis of which dates back to the Devonian period.
The mountain area is quite a busy place: the N11 route runs here, connecting the capital of Ireland, Dublin, with the village of Wicklow. In addition, Great Sugar Loaf is located a short distance from the Irish Sea. The hill is therefore an interesting vantage point on the Irish coastline.
