1. The location It’s just a hop, skip and a jump from Dublin. And if you’re travelling from further afield, well we promise it’s totally worth it! [embed id="embed_1"] 2. So much to explore and experience From wandering around Glendalough, to discovering the history of the Wicklow Gaol. From cycling through the Sally Gap, to sailing in Greystones. From cookery classes to rounds of golf on world-renowned championship courses. And of course, the vast number of historic estates and beautiful gardens, from Powerscourt Estate to Mount Usher. Wicklow truly has something for everyone! 3. It’s a foodie and craft beer lover’s dream The Wicklow food and craft beer scene has exploded over recent years and there is a variety of restaurant, cafes, pubs and distilleries to cater for all tastes. From the organic vegan delights of the Happy Pear in Greystones to the fine dining experience at Sika restaurant or a tour of the Wicklow Brewery… There’s no shortage of places to eat and drink in the Garden County. 4. The Scenery Destinations like Wicklow are few and far between. Here, visitors can enjoy the best of both worlds, from a diverse coastline to the stunning Wicklow Mountains. It’s no wonder that Wicklow is known as the Garden of Ireland, and that it has been the backdrop to countless movies and tv shows over the years including The Vikings, The Tudors, PS I Love You and Braveheart to name a few!
