Across the road from our estate is a beautiful lighthouse walk which is also a very pleasant cycle, with lovely views of Wicklow Bay and mountains. We are also very close to some beautiful beaches and within easy reach of golf, fishing, sailing and hill walking in the Wicklow mountains. Wicklow town is a 15 minute walk from our door and there you can find shops, restaurants and cafes where you can relax and enjoy the atmosphere of a small Irish town.
We have 2 good sized family cars for exchange (Peugeot 3008) with 4 adult bicycles .
Ireland being a relatively small country, the main cities of Belfast (Titanic museum), Derry (city of culture 2013), Galway (centre of culture and arts) and Kilkenny (historic city) are all within easy reach.
