The Wicklow Way

Reviewed By Familiaturner

This area of Ireland is not to be missed. Very different from anything else we saw. If you start in Roundwood and take highway R759 you will go through some amazing countryside. Stop near Lough Tay and find the trailhead. (There are a few parking areas). You can take a spectacular hike on a beautifully maintained trail (much of which is raised boardwalk) and see amazing views in every direction. Then, drive towards Sally Gap. It's hauntingly beautiful and unique. So worthwhile. You can continue on to Dublin from there. Country roads (narrow) but typical of those in Ireland.

Arklow Golf Links

Reviewed By frances0h

In the absence of being able to do indoor dining with that amazing view, Arklow Golf Club are doing delivery or pickup! We had a lovely dinner from there today! We had a veggie lasagna and Salmon, it was delicious, good price and good service on pick up. We will definitely be ordering from there again!

We are a family run stables, set in the heart of the dramatic, timeless, unspoilt scenery that is the Wicklow mountains. The Maguire farm runs along the Kings River on the lower side while on the higher side, rust coloured bogs and granite stone wall framed fields, make this a landscape of extraordinary beauty.
