WICKLOW TOWN

A seaside resort that is also the county town stands on the lower slopes of Ballyguile Hill about 26km south of Bray. It overlooks a wide bay fringed by a crescent curve of coast. The town is famed for its fine harbour, which is home to a well-founded sailing/yacht club. A pebble beach runs for 12 miles (19km) north of the town offering the delight of undisturbed walking, beach combing and swimming. When it comes to nightlife the area provides a hotel, a variety of pubs and restaurants to delight all tastes and pockets. There are also lots of nice clothes and shoe shops in the town.
