About this experience
Wicklow Mountains National Park is situated just south of Dublin. The Park covers 20,000 hectares of mountain scenery, and many roads cross through it. The most popular location for visitors to the National park is the scenic and historic valley of Glendalough. Much of the rest of the Park is remote with few facilities, but the scenery is worth admiring - actually Powerscourt Gardens were voted the 3rd most beautiful gardens in the world by National Geographic!
The guide will pick you up from your hotel or from your cruise ship.
You will have a scenic drive along the coast and into the Dublin Mountains across through the wonderful wild rugged countryside of Wicklow.
Your tour will take in a monastic site of Glendalough, Guinness Lake, and the National Park.
At the end of the tour, the driver will take you back to the place you are staying.
