Green And Blue

A sunny Friday afternoon last as we take in the view southeast over the cliffs leading to Wicklow Head with the golf-course on the right.

Wicklow Head Walk IV

The concluding day of our little trek around the cliffs south of Wicklow Town leading to Wicklow Head and above we can see the golf club in the distance near the start of our walk and, below, even further into the mist we see the outline of Wicklow Town.

And finally, we made it to Wicklow Head and on the right is the last remaining of the original twin lighthouses built in 1781 which we previously covered here.

Wicklow Head Walk III

Today we continue our little trek south on the cliff walk to Wicklow Head. Easy does it - a bit tricky here!

Wicklow Head Walk II

Continuing on from yesterday's theme we resume our spectacular cliff walk south towards Wicklow Head - now this is what I call edgy!

Wicklow Head Walk

Leaving Wicklow Golf Club behind we make our way south along the cliff walk towards Wicklow Head.  It's not the safest of walks, with lots of rough ground to navigate but the rewards are great with some of the most spectacular views on the Wicklow coast.

Nice Setting

Yes, a nice setting for a game of golf as we negotiate the narrow cliff walk south to Wicklow Head taking in the views of Wicklow Golf Club which runs alongside this spectacular stretch of coastline.

The Old Lighthouse

A six stage structure built around 1780 as one of a pair this is the Old Lighthouse on Wicklow Head which was converted by the Irish Lighthouse Trust to a short let holiday home. Four to six people can be accomodated in two delightfully quirky octagonal bedrooms and one double sofa bed in the sitting room.  The kitchen is on the top floor of this 95 foot high tower so a lot of stairs to negotiate but fantastic views from the top.
