Maulin,[2] at 570m (1,870feet), is the 272nd–highest peak in Ireland on the Arderin scale,[3] however, being below 600 m it does not rank on the Vandeleur-Lynam or Hewitt scales.[4] [5] Maulin is in the far northeastern section of the Wicklow Mountains, at the mouth of Glensoulan Valley; Powerscourt Waterfall lies at its base.[6]

Maulin is accessed from the trails through Crone Woods, a Sitka spruce plantation on its northern slopes; Maulin is also accessible just off the main Wicklow Way.[7] Maulin is often climbed as part of a "loop route" called the Circuit of Glensoulan which starts at Crone Woods car-park, and complete a 16-kilometre loop of Maulin, Tonduff 642m (2,106feet), War Hill 686m (2,251feet), and Djouce 725m (2,379feet), and then returning to Crone Woods car-park.[8]

The Knockree An Óige youth hostel is located at the base of Maulin in Lackandarragh near the village of Enniskerry.[9]
