Why stay in Wicklow

Wicklow — Garden of Ireland

Wicklow is Dublin's back garden — 40 minutes from the city but a world apart. The Wicklow Mountains National Park covers 200km² of upland blanket bog, heather moorland and ancient oak woodland. Glendalough's 6th-century monastic city is one of Ireland's most atmospheric sites. Powerscourt Estate has the finest formal gardens in the country and Ireland's highest waterfall at 121m. Bray and Greystones on the DART coastal line are 40 minutes from Dublin city centre.
