Latest Wicklow hotel reviews
16 Reviews This spot is on the itinerary of all tourists to Wicklow. Once one of the most magnificent Palladian mansions in Ireland and home of the Wingfield family for 350 years, it passed to the Slazenger family in 1961 and was severely damaged by fire in 1974. It has since been restored to a certain extent...
19 Reviews For such a small country, there sure is a lot to see here. Glendalough means, The Valley of Two Lakes. The buildings here are from the 8th and 12th Centuries. The most famous is the Round Tower. It is 34m high and 16 m circuference at its base. St. Kevin founded a monastery here in the 6th Century....
3 Reviews Mount Usher is a great garden laid out in a naturalistic style in the 19th century and open to the public for many years (Bear in mind you do have to pay in). Its considered one of the finest gardens in Ireland. Theres a coffee shop for refreshments after you savour the garden.
1 Review Kilruddery Estate is in a lot of ways the opposite to Powerscourt: Whereas Powerscourt is worth a visit because of its gardens, not necessarily its mansion, Kilruddery is worth a visit more for its house rather than its gardens. The Estate is still very much lived in and shows a quirky sense of...
salisbury3933 Says: In the town is the old Gaol. It tells the often brutal history of British occupation, and the treatment of prisoners, along with the transportation to Australia.Well worth the 7.50 Euros to get in.
edwis Says: Wicklow Town is a 30-minute drive to the seaside from Glendalough through rolling meadows on curving, tree-lined narrow roads. The drive was enhanced by rock walls on each side of the road, many sheep and some cows. This was in addition to avoiding other cars and trying to...
salisbury3933 Says: There's a good steakhouse in the square near the Gaol.Excellent stuff, and they have a good special from Tuesday-Thursday. Recommended.
Ruai Says: The Heathers restaurant is a pleasant place to pile into for lunch after a bracing walk in Glendalough. The food is solid and tasty and service is always given with a smile. Have gone there many times on various trips to Glendalough and always been happy with what I got.
Johnny Fox's: The most famous pub in Leinster
Ruai Says: Johnny Fox's, nestled high in the Dublin Hills, is justly famous for its food, entertianment and atmosphere. Its very touristy but that doesn't stop it from being a great Pub :-) Strangely enough for what is the highest pub in Ireland, its speciality is seafood. Thats whimsy...
Roundwood Inn: Germany calling
Ruai Says: Stumbled across this place one day while passing through Roundwood, a village near Glendalough popular with walkers (Its surrounded by good walking!). Its an old Irish pub with German characteristics and food! Oddly the combination works and the food is damn good. I really...
3 Reviews I took a bus from dublin on the "wicklow tour". Any of the tour buses that take you around Dublin have brochures for this kind of day excursion. It stopped in some other places on the way and was a nice way to see some of the counrty side.
salisbury3933 Says: Trains go to Dublin, and also to the Ferry port further south in Rosslare.The trains are not overly frequent, so best to refer to the following site for timetable information.http://www.irishrail.ie/home/

Don't - UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES...
sabsi Says: Don't - UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES - stay at Mrs. Dunne's Bed & Breakfast! It was the worst I've ever seen, lousy beds, cold rooms and the breakfast was absolutely disgusting! All this for IEP 18! In Wicklow town it's the last house on the left of the main street. Don't go...
Have picnic at the beautiful...
Nobbe Says: Have picnic at the beautiful and spectacular Powerscourt Waterfall. This can br found five kilometres from the Powerscourt gardens and the waterfall is Ireland's highest, falling almost 130 meter into the Dargle Valley. If you are going from Powerscourt gardens, this could...
sangietair Says: Born in a place surrounded by sea and mountains, for me, the sea means serenity and calm, the mountains mean life and peace. The week before I went on this trip, I met a girl on holiday from Dublin. Once she found out I was going to her home place and found out how...

Wicklow is both a green lung for the ever encroaching urban sprawl of Dublin and a beautiful, historic place in its own right. Increasingly its towns such as Bray, Arklow and Wicklow town itself have...

One of the things that impressed me about Ireland was the abundance of industries in the country. Even though some are small they seem to evoke the very essence of the land itself.

When it comes to Irish countryside I would usually recommend going anywhere along the West Coast. The East Coast as a rule is not quite as beautiful and breathtaking as the South-West of Ireland....

Glendalough in Wicklow - Beautiful and Green
I didn't get to spend enough time in Ireland, but the beautiful Irish countryside I got to see was in Wicklow County... the area called Glendalough. It was so beautiful and green just like you expect...

Small town , it is the main City in that region . But I think it is not so beautiful for a longer stay . The surrounding area is much better . So you can use Wicklow as a base for exploring the rest...
