Mount Usher Gardens (Wicklows best kept secret)
I went there almost every weekend in the spring and summer - it was my sanctuary. You can walk amongst Eucalyptus forests or japanese Gardens ... and experience breathtaking beauty in every corner... a true ***** 5 Star experience for the ones who like plants, nature and a bit of peace.
Here is a link to a slide show of what else county Wicklow has on offer:

The Military Road from Dublin to Arklow is absolutely stunning. You can stop by the Powerscourt Waterfall on the way! Leave a Comment Directions: Take R115 out of Dublin going south and enjoy!

I'm going to wander among the Wicklow Hills.
Ten years would barely cover it I think.
Glendalough is touristy,
Glenmalure is isolated,
Glenmacnass is good, the views are nice.
Crone Woods is the "In the know" hangout- there are often 50 or 60 cars here at the week ends, Some wander towards Djouce to see the views of the Powerscourt Waterfall, many walk to the top of Djouce itself, A few go to the top of Maulin, War hill or the Ton Duffs.
One Carpark, at least a dozen easy to moderate routes to hike from it. Leave a Comment

The Wicklow Way is a long distance walking route, it runs from Marlay Park in County Dublin, through County Wicklow to finish at Clonegal in County Carlow. It is 132 km (82 miles) in length and follows a North-South line over the eastern flanks of the Wicklow Mountains with much of the route over 500m (1,640 ft). It can be comfortably walked in five or six days or in shorter sections as desired.
Variety is the great characteristic of this route, which starts in the County Dublin plains, climbs into the Dublin Mountains, and switches from glen to glen in the high Wicklow Mountains. It offers easy access from Dublin to the Wicklow Mountains climbing quite high at times, but also descending into the forested glens. Some parts are boggy, while others are on hard roads and tracks. The way traverses much lower ground through forest fire breaks, sheep paths and old mass paths past snug farms, stone walled tillage fields and many places of historic interest and is clearly way-marked with wooden posts topped by yellow arrows at all junctions. Viewpoints on the way give glorious views: across Dublin to the Mourne Mountains in Co. Down; across the Irish Sea to Snowdonia in Wales; Glendalough; Glenmalure down onto deep Lough Dan and Powerscourt Leave a Comment Phone: +353 404 69117Other Contact: wicklow@eircom.net

Wicklow has beautiful mountains (not so high) and lakes. But mostly it is amusing with the gardens. Because of suitable Ireland climate there are possible to find a wide sort of plants. Leave a Comment Phone: +353 404 69117Directions: Out of Dublin
