Covering nearly 23,000 hectares, Wicklow Mountains National Park is Ireland’s largest national park and the only one in the east. Located just south of Dublin, it boasts rugged peaks, winding mountain roads, and deep glacial valleys carved over millennia. The park is home to a diverse range of habitats, from heather-covered uplands to ancient woodlands, and serves as a refuge for wildlife such as red deer and peregrine falcons.
