Surroundings:

County Wicklow is situated on Ireland’s east coast, south of the city of Dublin. Known as ‘The Garden of Ireland’ it manages to pack an amazing variety of scenery into a relatively compact area. The appeal of Wicklow includes stunning mountain scenery, long golden beaches and a wealth of historical attractions from ancient monastic settlements to fine period houses and estates. Wicklow contains some of the most appealing landscapes in Ireland. Long glaciated valleys punctuate a wild and untamed expanse of heather clad mountains whilst in the valleys between, pretty villages provide welcoming pubs and restaurants.

For an area so easily accessible from air and ferry ports, the area is blissfully devoid of mass tourism, indeed one of the greatest challenges for the visitor is to find high quality accommodation with character that can accommodate larger families or groups.

Golf, sailing, horse riding and fishing are all available nearby and the
Blue Flag beach at Brittas is just over half an hour’s drive down the valley. Aughavannagh Cottage lies just off The Wicklow Way, Irelands longest way marked walking trail – making it the perfect location for exploring the mountains.
