Wicklow Mountains National Park
#14 in Best Places to Visit in Ireland
Wicklow Mountains National Park is a convenient outdoor escape for many travelers thanks to its location about 30 miles southwest of Dublin. Start by exploring the mountains’ evergreen heaths, bogs, peaks, cliffs, valleys and forests via popular trails, which range from shorter hikes like the Miners’ Road Walk to long-distance treks like the Wicklow Way. Then, check out Glendalough, which features beautiful landscapes, as well as historical ruins.
