There are a number of guides & leaflets avaiable which give details of visitor attractions. The Wicklow County Guide can be obtained from Wicklow Tourism. Attractions listed are a selection from around and near Glendalough, as well as some intersting pl;aces in the County.The best kept secret in Wicklow is our Gradens. Our moist temperate climate tempered by the Gulf Stream is particularly conducive to garden making and in these conditions a wide range of plants varying from great trees and shrubs to herbacous plants and the smallest alpines flourish and prosper. This is why we are known as the 'Garden of Ireland'.Wicklow is an area rich in History and Culture, with a large number of archaeological and historical sites of great interest; from the 6th century monastic sites in Glendalough, to any number of historice houses and gardens.
The site is managed by the Wicklow Web Centre. Any comments are welcome, and we encourage links to any interesting information.
