Extending over much of County Wicklow on the east coast of Ireland, the picturesque Wicklow Mountains National Park boasts a landscape of chocolate box vistas showcasing untamed forests, twisting mountain roads, fast flowing streams and lush valleys. Out and about we visit cosmopolitan Dublin, home to countless attractions such as the Guinness Storehouse, Trinity College, St Patrick’s Cathedral, numerous traditional pubs and the atmospheric cobbled tangle of shops and eateries known as Temple Bar. We also enjoy a feast for our senses at Powerscourt Gardens, discover Stone Age settlements at Lullymore Heritage Park and experience the glitz of Hollywood at the Silverware Museum of Style Icons. We stay at the incredibly welcoming Hamlet Court Hotel, the epitome of Irish hospitality and winner of Glenton Hotel of the Year for two years running!
