"An oasis of calm and beauty" that offers regular events for kids and adults alike. Its cafe sells wonderful coffee and scone.
Glendalough is the "honeypot" of the Wicklow Mountain National Park, so it is a must visit each year

8) Bray - Greystones cliff walk
Wonderful walk, might be combined with eating an ice cream at Gino's, strolling on the promenade & spending some time on the new playground (Plus if it starts to rain, Sealife is always there...)
Wonderful walk, might be combined with eating in one of the restaurants Howth offers and visiting the Museum of Vintage Radio or the National Transport Museum
Playground, cafe, lovely view of the Dublin Bay
Have Fun!
