Wander through Wicklow
Envelop yourself in pure beauty in County Wicklow – known as the Garden of Ireland – where cascading waterfalls flow in green valleys and deer graze on deserted mountains. Wicklow might be right next door to Dublin city, but within an hour and a half, a bus or train can whisk you away from all that city bustle and into a world of pure tranquility.
Numerous walking and cycling trails encourage you to explore its magical landscapes. And given its growing reputation as a top food destination, it just makes sense to stop and sample the delicacies of the artisan breweries and distilleries, sustainable eateries and great local producers while you’re here. It really is a treat for all the senses.
