Blessington
Blessington is one of the biggest towns in West Wicklow. Beside the Blessington Lakes and the Wicklow Mountains, Blessington is steeped in history. Around every corner there are buildings, statues, and relics of the past staring back at you. Some of the more noticeable features include the Credit Union House, Downshire Monument, Saint Mary’s Church of Ireland, and the Horseshoe Arch, all of which are found in the centre of town.
On the outskirts of the town is the magnificent Russborough House one of the finest Georgian houses in Ireland with its Palladian facade that makes it the longest house on the island. It is a wonderful destination for a day out with many attractions both inside and out for young and old.

🎥 WATCH: Video Guide: Wicklow Way Section Two - Knockree to Roundwood has been released!
🥾 This video will show you what to expect as you continue along the Wicklow Way, on the second section of the route.
Enjoy truly magnificent views on this 20km section, the first being the glimpse you'll get of Ireland's highest waterfall on the Powerscourt Estate, as you climb high through Crone Woods.
Cast your eyes over the spectacular scenery towards the Irish Sea, with Djouce Mountain looming to the right as you skirt below the summit. Another treat is just around the corner - Lough Tay. More views into Lough Dan await you before you reach the end of Section Two.
