Powerscourt Waterfall
Our first stop of the day is the breathtaking Powerscourt Waterfall, nestled in the heart of County Wicklow. As Ireland’s tallest waterfall, it plunges an impressive 121 meters (397 feet) into a serene, tree-lined valley, creating a truly mesmerizing sight. Surrounded by the majestic woodlands of the Powerscourt Estate, this natural wonder has captivated visitors since the 18th century. Its enchanting beauty has even made it a popular filming location for movies and TV shows, adding to its magical allure. Take in the soothing sounds of cascading water, explore the scenic walking trails, and immerse yourself in the tranquility of this unforgettable destination.
Situated in the "valley of the two lakes," Glendalough is a historic gem surrounded by breathtaking scenery. It was created as a monastery retreat in the sixth century by Saint Kevin. Wandering around the remnants of the ancient city, visitors can learn about Ireland's spiritual and historical heritage. You can also have lunch at a neighbouring restaurant.
Barnbawn Road
The last stop of our Wicklow day tour is to a working sheep farm. Meet a friendly local farmer who will delight in introducing you to rural life on the farm. You will be introduced to their working sheepdogs; they will explain the breed of dog used and show you how they are trained to carry out their duties. The farmer will also talk about the different breeds of sheep in Ireland and what they are used for. Then finally the main event, a sheepdog demonstration. This is a truly unique experience and gives you a great insight into how dogs are used to herd sheep, be it in the hills or in the fields using voice and whistle commands.
