County Wicklow

🕐 Last updated: March 05, 2025

Introduction

Often called the 'Garden of Ireland', Wicklow is a county of breathtaking contrasts. Here, Dublin's urban pulse gives way to mountain wilderness, where monastic ruins nestle in misty valleys and waterfalls cascade through ancient forest landscapes. Home to Ireland's largest national park, it boasts the biggest forest lands, most expansive mountain areas, and the country's highest waterfall at Powerscourt. Glendalough's monastic site offers a spiritual counterpoint to the rugged wilderness, while coastal towns like Bray and Greystones provide a different perspective on the county's diverse terrain. From the source of the River Liffey to its sweeping mountain vistas, Wicklow is a microcosm of Ireland's stunning natural diversity.
