Enniskerry
This extremely picturesque village was built to accompany the manor house of the nearby Powerscourt Estate and is an excellent base from which to explore the surrounding countryside as well as the magnificent Powerscourt grounds.
Enniskerry features superb cafes and shops as well as a host of picture-postcard cottages and a charming village triangle. The clock tower in the centre of the village is also a very attractive feature.
The Catholic Church circa 1843 by Patrick Byrne is one of the first gothic revival churches in Ireland. Lying in a beautiful glen of the Cookstown or Glencullen River, the wooded country around Enniskerry offers fine forest walks.

Aren't these views from Church Mountain, on the western fringe of the Wicklow Mountains, fantastic! ⛰️ With thanks to TJ Dillon Photography.
As Gaeilge, the name is Sliabh an Chodaigh, meaning "mountain of the covenant" - at the summit you'll find what remains of an ancient pagan cairn, upon which a small church is said to have been built later by St. Kevin, in the 6th Century.
Pilgrims traditionally climbed the mountain to visit a holy well during the festival of Lughnasa, marking the beginning of the harvest season.
The mountain is 544 metres high and is located about halfway between Hollywood and Donard villages. From the top, you'll be rewarded by stunning views of the lakes and countryside below!
