Glenwrightil is a remote valley located on Mount Brandon, the highest mountain on the Dingle Peninsula in County Kerry, Ireland. The valley is situated on the southeastern slope of the mountain and is approximately 5 kilometers long. Glenwrightil is known for its rugged and dramatic landscape, with steep slopes, rocky outcrops, and fast-flowing rivers that drain into the Atlantic Ocean.

The valley is surrounded by some of the most scenic and remote areas of Ireland, with the rugged landscape offering breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and coastline. Glenwrightil is a popular destination for hikers and climbers, who come to explore the valley's dramatic landscape and tackle the challenging climb up Mount Brandon.

The name "Glenwrightil" is thought to come from the Irish language, with "glen" meaning a valley or a narrow strip of land between hills, and "wrightil" possibly meaning smooth or flat. The valley has a significant place in local folklore, with stories of mythical creatures and hidden treasures said to be hiding in the area.

Access to Glenwrightil is limited, with the valley only accessible by a rough, unmarked path that winds its way up the mountain from the village of Ventry. The path is steep and challenging, making the valley a serious undertaking for even the most experienced hikers and climbers. However, the rewards for those who make it to the valley are well worth the effort, with stunning views and an unforgettable experience of Ireland's wild and rugged landscape.
