Wicklow Mountains

Carved out by the glaciers of the past, the Wicklow Mountains offer stunning landscapes from remote uplands to the rich wooded valleys that give Wicklow its reputation as the ‘Garden of Ireland.’ This diversity provides homes for a rich array of plants and animals, some of which have recently returned after long absences. This area boasts impressive hillforts, ruined abbeys, a rich mining heritage, and a long rebel history. The towns and villages surrounding the mountains have vibrant, thriving, and diverse local communities where heritage and modern life meet.
