Our tour of Wicklow includes beautiful scenery, historic buildings, gardens, lakes - or whatever you want, led by a local guide. We visit little villages, mountain areas, stately homes and maybe my family farm up in the Wicklow Mountains! We can visit Powerscourt Gardens (admission charge here) or Russborough House (admission charge here), drive through Wicklow Mountains National Park, and explore the valley of Glendalough. Here we will visit the ruins of the monastic city, founded by St Kevin and look at some of the seven churches and the famous round tower. If you like walking we can walk around both lakes and enjoy the dramatic scenery and lovely forest. We will also make time for a nice lunch in one of the lovely pubs or restaurants in Wicklow. Or a pint on the way home....! I can customise your day - just message me when you book me and we will make a good plan!
Pickup included
Rated as No 3 in the world by National Geographic, these 47 acre gardens are stunning, summer or winter. With lakes, statues, flowers and unusual trees, this is a garden for everyone! I will accompany you on a tour unless you want to be alone!
We will drive through Wicklow Mountains National Park, close to where I grew up. Expect heather covered mountains, deep dark lakes, fed by mountain streams, and wonderful views. This area has been the backdrop for many movies - PS I love you, Vikings, Valhalla and many more.
We will tour the ruins of the monastic city, visiting many of the churches here. Then, assuming you fancy a walk, we will walk up the valley to see the two lakes and the stunning scenery. Glendalough means 'the valley of two lakes' - it would be a shame not to see them both!
