The county of Wicklow, just south of Dublin, has great variety of scenery within its boarders. It is known as the 'Garden of Ireland'.

In the east of the coastal area is low and sandy, except in a few places where it crops out in headlands; two of the country's main resorts, Arklow and Bray are along this coast. Central Wicklow is a mass of domed granite mountains, penetrated by deep glens and wooded valleys; it contains some of the finest scenery in Ireland. To the west, the mountains give way to gentler country on the edge of the central plain.

The rugged, heather-clad Wicklow Mountains are a popular subject for artists. The county's interesting ruins and deep glens are noted for their beauty and attract many tourists.

Round Towers are unique Christian architectural features in Ireland, and at Glendelough in County Wicklow near St. Kevin's Church is one of Irelands most breathtaking Round Towers. At over 110 feet, it is one of the largest in the Ireland.
