Additional Information

We initiate our journey with a briefing about the city of Dublin, as we divert towards the south to enter County Wicklow, fondly referred to as the ‘Garden of Ireland’.

Its picturesque lakes, lush forests and charming rivulets offer a visually cracking drive and a welcome escape from the metropolis.

Appreciate landscapes made famous by movies such as Braveheart and P.S. I Love You. Our route takes us across the mountains of Wicklow to Glendalough (we stop for a minimum of 1.5 hours) - the glen of the twin lakes.

Indulge in a tranquil walk to the Upper Lake and delve into the ruins of the St Kevin’s monastery, with its round towers, Celtic crosses and more.
