The Wicklow Mountains
The Wicklow Mountains is one of Ireland most scenic areas. The area is a walkers paradise with countless opportunities to get away from it all in beautiful unspoilt mountain scenery. Whether you want a gentle stroll in lovely surroundings or prefer a more energetic all day hike there is always a wide choice for every taste. Waterfalls, mountain lakes and deep glaciated valleys all provide a wonderful backdrop for walkers of every ability. Deer, foxes and hares can all be seen in the quiet glens and kestrels, merlin and peregrine falcons can also be spotted with a bit of luck. There is little in the way of man- made settlement in the mountains but with a bit of careful planning it should be possible to ensure that your hill walking day ends at a good pub!
Lugnaquilla, Wicklow’s highest peak, rises to over 3,000 feet just behind Aughavannagh Cottage and provides an exhilarating challenge for the energetic and experienced who will be rewarded with spectacular views from the summit. There are several routes to the top and it isn’t difficult to plan a hike which ascends one route and descends by way of a different track.

Aughavannagh Cottage was recently described by The Irish Times as ‘High in the Wicklow Mountains, just the most picture perfect example of a country home. It retains the 19th century cottage feel, but with all the comforts of a good home away from home.’
A Golfers Paradise
Aughavannagh Cottage is also within easy reach of some of Ireland’s greatest golf courses with a wide variety of golfing venues to choose from. Challenging coastal links and beautiful parkland settings are all near by. For instance Druids Glen, recent hosts of the Irish Open is a short 40 minute drive. Even closer are spectacular courses at Glenmalure, Woodenbridge, Arklow, Roundwood, Djouce and Coolattin. At many of the courses green fees are surprisingly reasonable, particularly during the week and the keen golfer will find the Irish golfing experience refreshingly informal and sociable. There is an almost overwhelming choice in the sheer variety of quality courses to choose from. For those who would like to play a different venue every day, the world famous Mount Juliet and the magnificent K Club (home of the Ryder Cup in 2007) are both less than one and a half hours away.

In the local area there is golf, hill walking, mountain climbing, fishing, sailing and blue flag beaches. The unmissable valley of Glendalough is minutes away by car and Avoca (Ballykissangel) and lots of friendly pubs and restaurants are nearby.
