Covering most of County Wicklow, the magnificent Wicklow Mountains National Park is one of Ireland’s scenic jewels. Combining stunning mountains, rolling hills and tranquil lakes, this area is often called ‘the Garden of Ireland’. The mountainous landscape is home to rare flowers and beautiful birds of prey, with gushing streams and untamed vistas at every turn.

The most visited place in the area is lovely Glendalough, where the ancient monastic settlement of St Kevin is located and the impressive 10th century Round Tower.
Visit the picturesque village of Avoca, setting of TV’s Ballykissangel or Sallys Gap, where film makers brought a little of Scotland to Ireland when filming Braveheart.
On a coach break to this part of Ireland you can experience a sense of peace and isolation, or enjoy the ‘crac’ in the many traditional Irish pubs in the area. Whichever you choose, an enjoyable and memorable experience is assured.
