Wicklow

Wicklow

Wicklow is the capital of County Wicklow in Ireland and the capital of the east-central region of the country. Located south of Dublin, it is also one of Ireland’s worthwhile towns to visit.

The area was established around 795 by the Vikings, and the ruins of Black Castle overlooking the harbor today stand as a historical witness to the Norman invasion. Among Wicklow’s many notable figures is Captain Robert Halpin, a renowned 19th-century sailor, so you can also explore the Halpin Trail to learn about his life and significant contributions. Your trip would be incomplete without visiting Ireland’s most eerie historic site, Wicklow’s Historic Gaol. Additionally, you can enjoy a relaxing beach experience along Wicklow’s scenic coastline, view fossils of prehistoric marine creatures, or visit Wicklow’s only community art gallery to admire a range of paintings and handicrafts created by local artists.
