Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
County Wicklow has earned the name 'the Garden of Ireland' because of its stunning landscape, as well as its proximity to Dublin. Although many areas of the county have been cultivated, there are still many wild places to visit, where the scenery, plants and wildlife of the county can be observed and enjoyed. A county of great natural diversity, Wicklow offers a unique combination of mountains, lakes, bogs, woodlands and coastline. A hardy community of animals is camouflaged and scattered among Wicklow's diverse plant life. Wicklow is still the wildest part of the east of Ireland, providing the type of landscape that allows us to experience that feeling of wilderness so important for the human condition. The plant and animal life in these rolling uplands is company indeed for the observant walker. This comprehensive listing uncovers the natural secrets of Wicklow through the exploration of the landscape and wildlife. These wild corners serve as a reminder of how the whole landscape may have once looked. Discovering Wild Wicklow is a naturalist's guide to the wilder areas of Wicklow, complete with simple directions on how to access these sites.
