Description

Go on a Wicklow tour that will take you to the most spectacular highlights within the Wicklow Mountains National Park. The tour takes a unique route, heading South along Dublin Bay, and traveling high along narrow roads, deep into the Wicklow Mountains. This beautifully picturesque and lush green area is also know as 'the garden of Ireland.' Visit the Guinness Lake, also known as Lough Tay, and enjoy plenty of photo opportunities at the Sally Gap. This entire route is already quite famous, as it was extensively used during the filming of Braveheart, PS I Love You, and many other blockbuster films. From there, head toward Glendalough, a 6th-century monastic settlement. This is one of the most spectacular glacial valleys in all of Ireland. St Kevin established a monastic settlement here in this remote area of outstanding natural beauty. Your guide will escort you on foot through this stunning location, and will bring this unique historic settlement to life. Glendalough is famous for its 10th-century round tower and its Celtic crosses, but it is most famous for its spectacular scenery. Here you will have free time to go for a stroll through the valley of two lakes before heading back toward Dublin.
