Escape to the “Garden of Ireland” on this breath taking full-day tour through County Wicklow, where lush valleys, dramatic mountains, and deep-rooted history create one of Ireland’s most memorable landscapes.
Your journey begins at the majestic Powerscourt Estate, voted among the world’s most beautiful gardens. Stroll through its formal terraces, secret hollows, and Japanese gardens, all set against the backdrop of the Sugarloaf Mountain. Don’t miss the cascading waterfalls and ornamental lakes that make Powerscourt a photographer’s dream.
From here, travel deep into the Wicklow Mountains National Park, a landscape of rolling heather hills, winding glens, and sparkling streams. Your destination is Glendalough, the fabled “Valley of the Two Lakes.” Founded by St. Kevin in the 6th century, this monastic settlement is home to a striking round tower, stone churches, and tranquil walking paths along the lakeshore — a place where history and nature blend in perfect harmony.
To round off the day, visit Avoca Handweavers, Ireland’s oldest working woollen mill, dating back to 1723. Here you’ll see traditional weaving in action, browse beautifully crafted Irish goods, and perhaps enjoy a coffee or treat in the charming café.
With a balance of heritage, scenery, and relaxation, this Wicklow excursion is a feast for the senses and the soul. Ideal for guests who want to experience Ireland’s natural beauty and cultural traditions in one unforgettable day.
