Wicklow Mountains National Park - As we leave the city we pass by Sugar Loaf mountain and descend through Ireland’s highest village Roundwood on your way to magnificent Glendalough.
Here we make a short stop at one of the most photographed locations in Wicklow, Lough Tay, which is also commonly called The Guinness Lake. -
Glendalough Monastic Settlement - Renowned for its magnificent scenery and rich and varied heritage in terms of history and archaeology, Glendalough is famed for the Braveheart wedding scenes and it really is one of the most beautiful visitor sites in all of Ireland. You will have 2 hours to explore the deep valley with its ruined Monastic City of Celtic crosses, round towers and much more. Known as the valley of 2 lakes, we enjoy a leisurely stroll along the bank of the river, through the woods where we are greeted by babbling brooks, crystal cascades and the lakes of Glendalough. A real picture perfect moment.
If you are a fan of the Hollywood Blockbusters ‘PS I Love You’ and ‘Braveheart’ then join us on this tour! You will understand why Mel Gibson chose the Wicklow mountains to be the Highlands of Scotland and Glendalough to be the spot for the wedding scene. And then of course there are all the romantic scenes from ‘PS I Love You’, this is where Hilary Swank met Gerard Butler for the first time…you never know who you can meet! -

Our journey embarks with a primer on Dublin City, before steering south to the County Wicklow, fondly known as the ‘Garden of Ireland’. Its stunning lakes, thick forests, and charming streams make the drive scenic and provides a quiet escape from the bustling city. Witness landscapes popularized by movies like Braveheart and P.S. I Love You. We traverse the Wicklow mountains to reach Glendalough (minimum halt of 1.5 hrs) - the valley harboring two lakes. Wind down with a leisurely stroll to the Upper Lake and investigate the ancient remnants of St. Kevin’s monastery, including its circular towers, Celtic crosses, and much more.
