Wicklow Mountains National Park is the largest natural national park in Ireland. It is a volcanic site with dense forests and lakes formed by craters. The scenery is very charming. There are also large natural pastures with sheep and cows. The natural scenery is very beautiful and worth visiting.
We drove to Wicklow Mountains National Park for a tour. This part of the trip was mainly a car tour. We first went to the tourist service center to get a map of the national park, then drove along the road for a while, and watched the natural scenery that seemed to represent the scenery of Ireland from the top of a valley. The winding mountain road stretched in the quiet valley, the dense forest stood tall on the sloping hillside, and the rushing river jumped on the uneven ground. We parked at the observation deck. Although the gloomy weather hindered the photo effect, the scenery in front of us still gave us a preliminary feeling of the vastness and tranquility of Ireland's natural scenery. Here we met several self-driving tourists from Eastern Europe, and they greeted each other very friendly. It is a very common thing to meet tourists from various countries who are self-driving in Ireland. But relatively speaking, there are relatively few opportunities to see Chinese people in self-driving tours in Ireland. Most Chinese people are group tours. Then we drove into the tourist road in the Wicklow Mountains National Park, where there were few vehicles coming and going. The scenery we saw along the way made us praise it all the way. The reason for the praise is actually because of the blooming mountain flowers all over the mountains in front of us. Although the sun was blocked by floating clouds along the way, we could still see a little blue sky occasionally. At this moment, we were very satisfied that it didn't rain. The national park, built in 1991, is located between the rolling mountains of Wicklow, covering an area of 204.8 square kilometers. It is also one of the six national parks under the Irish Heritage Administration. According to the information, the Wicklow Mountains in front of us were formed by the collision of ancient Europe and ancient America 400 million years ago, which led to the uplift of the earth's crust. I didn't expect that this piece of land has such a long history. There are also two small lakes, Upper Lake and Lower Lake, in the national park. In addition to the different landforms and vegetation layers such as mountains, swamps, and lakes, it is beautiful in nature and full of vitality in the vastness. We stopped many times along the way to enjoy the scenery, and the lakes and mountains we saw in the second half were even more beautiful. It is a kind of scenery with a complete atmosphere, a kind of nature without any decoration, and a vastness with ups and downs. The scenery here is more charming than the countryside of England, the nature here is more attractive than London and Oxford, and the vastness here is more profound than Scotland.
Not sure if this refers to Wicklow National Park in Ireland. If so, it is worth a visit. Europe has the usual beautiful mountains, waters and scenery. It is the same here even if there is no food, no drinks and no crowds. The green along the way is so beautiful that you can't bear to close your eyes every second. It is really refreshing when the weather is good. If you don't rent a car, there are one-day tours in the city center of Ireland. The travel company provides the car and the guide, and you take care of your own food and drink.
Entering Wicklow National Park, the landscape immediately takes a sharp turn for the worse. County Wicklow, known as the "Garden of Ireland", is a winding and undulating hilly landscape with large tracts of primeval forests and misty lakes. Time seems to have left no trace in County Wicklow. Glendalough means "the valley between two lakes" in Irish. As the name suggests, it is a valley with two lakes. Water vapor lingers between the mountains, and the ancient monastery ruins and round towers are located on the dark lakeside, which are simple and quiet, mysterious and romantic, ethereal and beautiful. The Celtic cross, like the shamrock, is the most famous symbol of Ireland. It is also a testimony to the Irish people's devout belief in Christianity. These crosses standing on the ancient ruins seem to be quietly telling the great changes and vicissitudes of history. Today, the ruins of Glendalough Abbey are scattered everywhere, and the broken walls and ruins of the main hall are still there, showing the sacredness and solemnity of the past.
Wicklow Mountains National Park is a large natural national park. There is a volcanic lake here, which is a typical volcanic natural landscape. The dense forests here have different colors throughout the year, and naturally there are different scenery. There are many rivers here, and there are waterfalls in an instant. The scenery is very beautiful and spectacular. It is a very good place for hiking.
