The Wicklow Mountains
The Wicklow Mountains is one of Ireland most scenic areas. This Wicklow cottage is situated in a walker’s paradise with many opportunities to get away from it all in beautiful unspoilt scenery.
During your holiday in Ireland,whether you want a gentle stroll in lovely surroundings, or a more energetic hike, there is always a wide choice of hill walking for every taste available from Aughavannagh Cottage.
You’ll find that waterfalls, mountain lakes and deep glaciated valleys such as Glendalough provide a wonderful backdrop for your Irish walking holiday. Deer, foxes and hares can all be seen in the quiet glens near this Wicklow Cottage and kestrels, merlin and peregrine falcons can also be spotted with a bit of luck.
Lugnaquilla is the highest peak in the range at 925 m (3035 ft), Mullaghcleevaun 847 m (2,780 ft) is the second highest, while the summit of Kippure is the highest point in Dublin, at 757 m (2,484 ft). The southern limits of the Wicklow Mountains are bordered by Croghan the highest point on the Wicklow-Wexford border and the scene in the 19th century of Ireland's only Gold Rush.

Wicklow cottage there is little in the way of man made settlement in the higher mountains but with a bit of careful planning it should be possible to ensure that your hill walking day ends at a good pub!
