County Wicklow

Mountains, Valleys, Woodlands, and Historic Routes

From the uplands of the Wicklow Mountains to glacial valleys, woodland, and the Irish Sea coastline, County Wicklow contains a diverse network of routes, landscapes, and places shaped by geology, water, and centuries of history. Trails such as the Wicklow Way, St Kevin's Way, and sections of the Dublin Mountains Way reveal many of these environments, while landscapes including Wicklow Mountains National Park, Glendalough, Glenmalure Valley, and the Wicklow coastline showcase some of Ireland's most distinctive natural environments.

Long-distance routes pass through mountain terrain, woodland, river valleys, lakes, farmland, and historic settlements, linking places that have shaped the character of County Wicklow for generations. Together, these routes and landscapes reveal the character of the county while providing opportunities to explore at a slower pace through self-guided travel and independent exploration.
