The Municipal District of Wicklow

The Municipal District of Wicklow balances quiet upland country with a maritime edge, reflecting its position between the Wicklow Mountains and the Irish Sea. Near Roundwood, the Vartry Reservoir system is an important drinking-water source for Dublin, while wooded roads and open moorland lead into the mountain interior. Coastal Wicklow Town is the district’s principal historic centre, and Wicklow Gaol, opened in 1702, recalls a more austere chapter of local life. The Wicklow Way long-distance trail also crosses the mountains, linking rural communities along its route.
