A unique opportunity to mix both the pleasures of a walk in the historical, Viking City of Dublin and its bouncing night life with the joy's of hiking the peaceful hills and valleys of Wicklow - the Garden of Ireland.
The Self-Guided City walk will allow you to explore some of the sites of this ancient City, visit the places made famous by Beckett, Swift, Joyce, Shaw, O'Casey and Behan, doing this at your own pace with the notes and directions provided.
Then it's a lovely walk out of the city starting at the gardens of Marley Park, and during the next few days, Enniskerry, the waterfalls at Powerscourt and on to Glendalough with its monastic majesty, vast history and breathtaking views.
Then you have the option to continue this holiday for an extra two nights and three days - what a great way to see, experience, explore, walk, savour, what is unique in today's modern world. ... a rural/urban mix with the one programme.
