Welcome to County Wicklow

The Garden County

Known as the Garden of Ireland and part of Ireland's Ancient East, County Wicklow is bursting with beautiful and rugged landscapes, dazzling lakes and stunning mountains.

A visit to the stunning Wicklow Mountains National Park is a must, as is the Powerscourt Waterfall, which is Ireland's highest waterfall standing at 121 metres. At the heart of the National Park, nestled deep in a glacial valley, lies Glendalough. It is one of the most important monastic sites in Ireland, founded by St Kevin in the 6th century, and provides magnificent views over the valley and the lakes.

It has an abundance of charming towns including Bray, Greystones and Arklow. Charismatic Bray is full of pubs and eateries along its rocky beach front, and visitors can enjoy the climb to Bray Head or the walk along the cliffs to the quaint seaside village of Greystones. Arklow is another charming town with many up-and-coming festivals.
