What to expect

This Wicklow day tour is designed to give you an experience like no other. You'll kick off your day at Beyond The Trees. This is a spectacular new visitor attraction, the first of its kind in Dublin. Explore the treetop walk and viewing tower at Beyond the Trees. Enjoy incredible views of the beautiful Wicklow countryside from the spectacular viewing tour. If you are feeling brave, you can take a slide down the tower at an additional cost.

The next stop is Glendalough. The monastery itself was founded in the 6th century by St Kevin, but most of the buildings date from between the 11th and 12th centuries. Glendalough monastery has many buildings, the Tower and St Kevin's kitchen are the most complete all the rest are in disrepair to differing extents. The setting amongst the mountains and the lakes is what sets this monastery apart from every other. Take a stroll and enjoy this magical place, you will be transported to a tranquil peaceful place. Don't forget to visit the lakes too.

Our last stop of the day is to a working sheep farm in the garden county, Wicklow. Meet the friendly local farmer who will delight in introducing you to rural life on the farm. You will be introduced to their hard-working sheepdogs, they willl explain and show you how they are trained to carry out their duties. And then finally the main event, a sheepdog demonstration. This is a truly unique experience and gives you a great insight into life in rural Ireland.
