Discover Wicklow
The Garden of Ireland
Wicklow is often called the 'Garden of Ireland'—and once you’re here, it’s easy to see why. With rolling mountains, peaceful glens, and unspoiled coastlines, Wicklow offers nature, history, and quiet beauty.
Located on Ireland’s Ancient East, Wicklow is a place where every path and valley seems to tell a story, from ancient monastic life to Ireland’s centuries-old fight for freedom.
The Wicklow Way & Glendalough
One of Ireland’s most celebrated walking trails, the Wicklow Way stretches from the Dublin hills down through Wicklow’s valleys. Glendalough, the jewel of this route, is a 6th-century monastic site with tranquil lakes and towering round towers that seem pulled from a storybook.
It’s a place to wander, listen to the birds, and feel the quiet that made it a place of pilgrimage for centuries.
Glenmalure & the Glen of Imaal
Tucked between Wicklow’s mountains, Glenmalure is famously linked to the Irish Rebellion of 1798. You’ll find the landscapes dramatic, peaceful, and steeped in history. Glenmalure Lodge, with its warm fires and traditional Irish dishes, is a must-stop for anyone exploring the glens and nearby peaks.
Rathdrum & Avondale Forest Park
Just a short drive from Tigín, the village of Rathdrum offers a taste of Wicklow’s history and hospitality. It’s where Irish revolutionary Padraig Pearse spent part of his childhood and remains a charming base to explore Wicklow’s scenic trails and attractions. Nearby, Avondale Forest Park is home to Beyond the Trees, an elevated treetop walk that provides stunning views over Wicklow’s hills. Both make for a perfect day of exploring, with a mix of history, nature, and adventure.
A Place Rooted in History and Heart
From the ancient hills to cozy pubs and winding paths, Wicklow offers a genuine Irish experience that goes beyond the surface. It’s a place to breathe deeply, discover hidden stories, and let the pace slow down.
