Snugborough Heights has beautiful scenic views all around and Barraniskey is a quiet rural location close to the Blue Flag beach at Brittas Bay. Local amenities are best found in nearby Avoca, Woodbridge or Arklow.

Arklow is one of the main seaside resorts on the east coast and is beautifully situated at the mouth of the River Avoca, in the extreme south of the county. Fishing and shipping are traditional here. The yacht that Sir Francis Chichester brought around the world, Gipsy Moth III, was built in Arklow shipyard.

South of Rathdrum, the Avonmore and Avonbeg Rivers join to form the Avoca River, about 3 miles north of Avoca village. This is the famous Meeting of the Waters. Overlooking the scene is Castle Howard, situated on a cliff by the rivers eastern bank. Nearby is Tom Moores tree, where the poet is said to have spent long hours in contemplation. Now it is a stark skeleton, railed off to save it from souvenir hunters.

The Vale of Avoca is especially lovely in late spring, when drifts of white blossom from the wild cherry trees are in stark contrast to the green foliage. On either side of the valley, the ground rises in little hills, culminating on the western side in a background of mountains. Valuable deposits of pyrites lie in the valley. They contain ores of copper, lead, zinc and sulphur (no longer mined).

In Avoca village a weaving centre is open to the public; its products are internationally renowned. Avoca was also home to the BBC series Ballykissangel.

One of Wicklows most famous landmarks, the monastic site at Glendalough attracts visitors from all over the world. The monastery was founded in the sixth century by Saint Kevin and now hosts a well preserved round tower, a number of fine stone churches and various crosses. The Visitor Centre houses an exhibition, an audio-visual show entitled Ireland of the Monasteries and regular guided tours of the monastic site.

Located 45 minutes drive from Dublin city, it is an ideal location for touring Wexford, Waterford and Kilkenny.
