The Wicklow Mountains offer some of the most stunning countryside in Ireland and a drive through this scenic oasis is never anything other than stunning, with the vast majority of the mountains protected through its designation as a national park.
During your tour through the Wicklow Mountains, you’ll spend time in stunning Glendalough, one of Ireland’s most beautiful visitor attractions. For thousands of years people have been drawn to ‘the valley of the two lakes‘ for its spectacular scenery, rich history, archaeology and abundant wildlife. Glendalough is a remarkable place that will still your mind, inspire your heart and fill your soul. At its heart is its historic monastic ruins, founded back in the 6th century by Saint Kevin. It is a truly inspirational place to visit with a host of ancient ruins to visit, including a once-grand cathedral.
You’ll also enjoy a visit to the gorgeous Mount Usher Gardens where the planting is enchanting! Delightful in every aspect, Mount Usher is one of the finest examples of an authentic ‘Robinsonian’ style garden combining a distinguished collection of trees and shrubs with informal floral planting schemes in a sheltered valley setting. There is an ever-changing panoply of colours and textures enhanced by wafting scents as one season changes to another.
