Things to Do
Co. Wicklow is located just south of Dublin traditionally known as "The Garden of Ireland". Wicklow displays a scenic beauty that justifies this name. Archaeological and historical remains abound, particularly in West Wicklow. But there is far more to Wicklow than its magnificent scenery. There are 20 golf courses, many angling facilities, mountaineers and Hillwalking on Kyle Farm walkers could seek no better terrain, traditional Irish Pubs, music and crafts.
The following are just some of the activities and attractions in the Wicklow area.
