Wicklow Mountains National Park

The Wicklow Mountains National Park was established in 1991 and is owned by the people of Ireland. It consists of an extensive upland area of Ireland and one of the country’s most beautiful regions. The 400 million year old mountains and the more recent glaciated features blend well with the animal and plant life there today. A large population of deer occupies the open mountain area of the park.

The national park has no restrictions to visitors and is open to the public 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Also to be found in The Wicklow Mountains National Park is the famous early christian monastic site and one of Ireland’s most popular visitor attractions, Glendalough.
