Mount Usher Gardens is a garden of about eight hectares along the River Vartry at Ashford, County Wicklow, laid out from 1868 in the informal Robinsonian style. Paths and small bridges lead along the river past more than 5,000 plant species, including trees and shrubs from many parts of the world, and the site also has an Avoca shop and café.

Glendalough is a glacial valley in the Wicklow Mountains where St Kevin founded a monastery in the 6th century. The remains of the monastic settlement near the Lower Lake include a round tower about 30 metres high, St Kevin's Church with its stone roof, the cathedral and carved crosses. Trails lead along the valley to the Upper Lake.
