Architecture of Wicklow

The county of Wicklow, just south of Dublin, has great variety of scenery within its boarders. It is known as the 'Garden of Ireland'. Wicklow has an area of 2,025 sq km (782 sq mi). The Liffey and Slaney rivers rise within the county. The dominant feature of the terrain is the Wicklow Mountains and their foothills; the highest summit is Lugnaquillia (926 m/3039 ft). The rugged, heather-clad Wicklow Mountains, a refuge for Irish rebels in the past, are a popular subject for artists. The county's interesting ruins and many deep glens, which are noted for their beauty, attract many tourists. Wicklow was organized as a county in 1606.

As you can understand, this is a pretty large undertaking which is why we will be adding buildings and places as we cover them. Currently we have the following areas:

Town / Village / Area
Baltinglass
Bray
Dunlavin
Enniskerry
Glendalough
