Check out Browne's Hill Dolmen near Carlow. Browne's Hill Dolmen is the largest of its kind in Europe with the capstone alone weighing 100 tonnes. The dolmen dates from around 2500 BC and is thought to have been the burial place of a local king.
Walk along the coast from Wicklow town to Silver Strand. There's a nice sandy beach there where everyone goes swimming in the Irish sea in summer.
Or try golf at the sea. Looks like a lovely spot to play golf!
The cemetary holds representations of the progression of celtic artwork through Ireland's history. some of these date back almost 1000 years. and you can follow the different burial traditions dating from the dawn of christianity.
Do you like to walk through graveyards? I do.
You really need a guide to explain the complexities of burials in Ireland and Europe.
Some of the graves are burials from deaths during the potato famine.
The Celtic Crosses have significance also. They are used as the burial stones. In Glendalough the stone was so hard that only the date and names could be recorded but some places have entire Bible stories on them!
