‘Wicklow Outdoors’

New Promotional Brand ‘Wicklow Outdoors’

Wicklow County Tourism, working in partnership with Wicklow County Council has developed an exciting new promotional brand: Wicklow Outdoors!

Due to its unique and varied terrain and landscape, Wicklow offers its residents and visitors a wonderful setting for many outdoor activities: walking, hiking, cycling, mountain biking, horse riding, golfing, kayaking, surfing, trail running to name but a few.

Directly south of Dublin and highly accessible by car and public transport, Wicklow is host to vast numbers of people every week, arriving from every corner of Ireland – and beyond!

Home to the largest continuous upland region in Ireland, the county with the most forest land, an abundance of rivers and lakes and over 30km of varied coastline – it’s easy to see why Wicklow is by default, the Outdoors Capital of Ireland!

Located in the middle of Ireland’s Ancient East, Wicklow offers over 5,000 years of history, including ancient places of worship, early Christian settlements, Viking and Norman sites, rebellions, castles, estates, gardens and of course, Wicklow’s Historic Gaol.

Whether it’s walking along the Wicklow Way, cycling the Wicklow mountains or travelling by road, visitors experience amazing places, stunning landscapes and a journey through time and the tales that have shaped our county through the ages.

By focusing on what makes Wicklow so special within the Irish tourism offerings, this new brand will greatly assist us to package and promote County Wicklow as the preferred destination of outdoor enthusiasts from around the world!
