Hollywood is our destination this week on a Stamping Journey through #Wicklow π£

Hollywood is an interesting place to visit; it's thought that Hollywood in County Wicklow gave itβs name to the California Hollywood - locals have even erected a 'Hollywood' sign on the hillside which is a popular photo opportunity! In keeping with the movie connection, the village was the set for blockbusters such as βDancing at Lughnasa!β with Meryl Streep, and βMichael Collinsβ with Liam Neeson and Julia Roberts.
Another fascinating site to visit is The Piper Stones, a Bronze Age circle of stones, about 3.5km to the south of Hollywood. Legend has it that an outlying stone and the circle relate to a piper and his dancers, petrified in stone for violating the Sabbath.
For the keen walker, there is an amazing trail which starts in Hollywood called 'St. Kevin's Way'. The 30 kilometres pilgrim path follows in St. Kevin's footsteps across the Wicklow Gap, and ends at remains of the monastery in Glendalough.

The Hollywood Cafe will stamp your passport and you'll find it hard to resist the fresh, seasonal & local cuisine served in this traditional Irish cottage, originally opened as a Post Office in 1855. Outdoor space available too.
Staying overnight? The old Victorian farmhouse at Abhainn Ri is a special place for a very romantic getaway. Or for a golfing or relaxing break, Tulfarris Hotel and Golf Resort offers delicious food & deluxe guest rooms with stunning views across the Blessington Lakes & Wicklow Mountains. Both are stamping locations π

I love Hollywood and the Hollywood Cafe is gorgeous. When the restrictions are lifted, I look forward to my weekly visit. Well worth it!
