If Ireland is the "Emerald Isle", then Wicklow is arguably its greenest county. Also known as the "Garden of Ireland", Wicklow is famous for its spectacular and largely uninhabited landscape, together with its heather-covered granite mountains. The Dublin and Wicklow mountain range is the largest highland area in Ireland and is the most extensive surface granite field in the British Isles. Wicklow is also a land of picturesque valleys like Glenmalure and the Glen of Immal but famous worldwide is Glendalough, the valley of two lakes, where a monastic settlement dating back to the 6th century gives a sense of peace and tranquillity.
