Hillwalkers descending Mount Leinster

Would any of your readers know of a decent, non-crowded hill walk within an hour’s drive of Dublin?  Somewhere off the beaten track and preferably in a loop and between 12-18km. I am taking a party of English people [in early March] and would like to show off the countryside in the best possible light. Thank you.

Anyone?
