Things to see and do in Wicklow

Step out of your luxury holiday cottage to discover captivating coastal county…

• Sugar Loaf Mountain: Rising in the heart of this picturesque county, sheep graze on the mountain's lower, fertile slopes, while its upper foliage is more barren and solely supports the hardiest of Irish wildlife.
• Glendalough Visitor Centre: Founded in the 6th-century, this monastic site features a round tower, stone churches and countless crosses, in addition to an exhibition and audio-visual show.
• Wicklow's Historic Gaol: The two-million restoration of the old county Gaol (jail), which has existed on this site since 1702 and remained active since 1924, is a major new attraction. During its time, thousands of prisoners have passed through its doors.
• Powerscout House & Gardens, Enniskerry: Boasting stunning views of the highly visible Sugar Loaf Mountain, these glorious formal gardens span 47 acres.

Don't miss…

• Brittas Bay Beach: Widely recognised as one of the finest beaches on the east coast of Ireland, this five-kilometre stretch of golden sand is a haven for any watersports enthusiast. Walk, swim, sail, or simply inhale the crisp, sea air.
