A grey heron resides upstream from the cottage and peregrine falcons from the cliffs of Luqnaquilla can be seen overhead particularly in the evening.
County Wicklow is situated on Irelands east coast, south of the city of Dublin. Known as ˜The Garden of Ireland it manages to pack an amazing variety of scenery into a relatively compact area. The appeal of Wicklow includes stunning mountain scenery, long golden beaches and a wealth of historical attractions from ancient monastic settlements to fine period houses and estates. Wicklow contains some of the most appealing landscapes in Ireland. Long glaciated valleys punctuate a wild and untamed expanse of heather clad mountains whilst in the valleys between, pretty villages provide welcoming pubs and restaurants.
Golf, sailing, horse riding and fishing are all available nearby and the Blue Flag beach at Brittas is just over half an hours drive down the valley. Aughavannagh Cottage lies just off The Wicklow Way, Irelands longest way marked walking trail making it the perfect location for exploring the mountains.
Aughavannagh Cottage, high in the Wicklow Mountains, is just the prettiest picture postcard example of a comfortable home from home. Perfect for families or groups of friends.
