Introducing Western Wicklow
As you go west through the county, the landscape gets less rugged and more rural, especially towards the borders of Kildare and Carlow. The wild terrain gives way to rich pastures: east of Blessington the countryside is dotted with private stud farms where some of the world’s most expensive horses are trained in jealously guarded secrecy.

The main attraction in this part of Wicklow is the magnificent Palladian pile at Russborough House, just outside Blessington, but if it’s more wild scenery you’re after, you’ll find it around Kilbride and the upper reaches of the River Liffey, as well as further south in the Glen of Imaal.
