Walkabout Wicklow

While it may be easy to find cheap hotels in Wicklow, it is harder to find public transport in a city surrounded by mountains. Buses do serve all major towns and villages across the county, but car hire may be a more sensible option when venturing to more challenging terrain, like mountains, for example. History buffs will enjoy the stately Russborough House, near the Blessington Lakes, while keen walkers will enjoy a hike through the Sally gap in the stunning Wicklow Mountains. It makes sense that the annual Wicklow Walking Festival is one of the most popular events in the county, held around Wicklow. Eating out is a healthy yet hearty affair, with organic eateries, international cuisine and national dishes dotted all over - all at very reasonable prices. It may be unlikely, after a day of trekking through the hills, that clubbing is high on the priority list. Instead, settling down at one of the many lovely pubs may be a smarter move for the evening.
