Ahh Roundwood. A jewel of a place to live or visit. With so many fantastic eateries and such breathtaking beauty all around it is truly one of Wicklows’ most desired home locations.

The fabulous Lough Dan is a lovely tree lined lake which is awkward to get down to but if your careful , wearing wellies and in company – experienced walkers best, you can traverse the marshland surrounding it and leap about on the unusual sandy cove by the lake once you get there! Well, that’s’ what we did!

Roundwood is a popular hub for walkers of the Wicklow way trail (see www.wicklowway.com for detailed routes and maps ) and cyclists especially throughout the summer season.

There is a thriving social scene here with traditional music in the pubs and good old Irish Stew served in the restaurants that line the main street.
