Glendalough and Kilkenny Castle

1 Day

Situated in the beautiful county of Cork, the Gougane Barra Forest Park is a must-visit for anyone visiting the Rebel County. Covering over 137 acres of luscious green landscape, Gougane Barra is a nature-lovers delight.

Hollywood is a pleasant village at the end of the Wicklow Gap road. It has a long association with St. Kevin’s of Glendalough and many pilgrims passed here on the their way to the monastic settlement, until the practice ceased in early 1900’s.

Setting off early morning, we travel up the Wicklow Mountains, stopping off at the highest village in Ireland, Roundwood. After a brief stop for refreshments, we head on to Glendalough, where you can see the beautiful landscape, mountains and valleys, which gives Wicklow the nickname of “The Garden of Ireland”. We also visit Hollywood before heading over to Kilkenny to see the spectacular Kilkenny Castle before heading back home.
