Roundwood (Irish: An Tochar, meaning The Causeway) is a village in County Wicklow, Ireland. It was listed as having a population of 518 in the census of 2002. It is located on the R755 road which is part of the main route from Dublin to Glendalough in the Wicklow Mountains. At 238 metres above sea level, it is one of the highest villages in Ireland.

Roundwood has a close association with two former Presidents of Ireland, Seán T. O’Kelly who lived locally and Erskine Childers who is buried in Derralossary Churchyard near the village. Vartry Reservoir Lakes (reservoirs built in the 1860s) are close by.

Here in the 'Garden of Ireland' we have many lesser known, but stunning, gardens that are so unique and enjoyable to visit. Some of these are only open for the summer months, so now is a great time to take advantage of the seasonal colours and scents. Here are just a few fantastic gardens-

1. June Blake's Garden and Nursery in the heart of West Wicklow is set in the grounds of an early Victorian steward’s house and farmyard surrounded by mature trees and meadows. See an eclectic collection of plants from around the world including areas of exciting, bold herbaceous planting, areas of ferns, grasses, bamboos and other choice woodland plants. More - bit.ly/32c8XvB

2.Gorse Hill Gardens has a unique situation overlooking the Bray to Greystones cliff path, with stunning sea views. Visitors can navigating this "Garden as Gallery" by wandering self-guided or with owner and artist Joan Davis. More - bit.ly/2NIFxBM

3. Wrens Wood near #Ashford, is deciduous woodland with holly tree’s ferns and large rocks left by the last ice age. It’s a captivating place with pathways leading through the woodland, connecting with the wild meadow and a track leads to a slope of ancient oak trees, some of which are almost 6 metres girth.
