 A
scenic drive from the Glendalough Valley rising up
to the highest point (Wicklow Gap) while crossing
the Wicklow mountains towards Hollywood.
We drive through the Wicklow Mountains National
Park.
Wicklow Mountains National Park covers part of a
mountain range that extends over most of County
Wicklow on the east coast of Ireland. The upper
slopes and rounded peaks are blanketed with heath
and bog.
The open vistas are interrupted only by
forestry plantations and the winding mountain roads.
Fast-flowing streams descend into the deep lakes of
the wooded valleys and continue their course into
the surrounding lowlands.
The primary purpose of Wicklow Mountains National
Park is the conservation of local biodiversity and
landscape. |
