I did a day trip to County Wicklow, so I did not stay in the town. Next time I will though. There are not many places, but I’m sure they are quaint.

We walked around for a while and ate at a cool little place; very local. But there are restaurants in the town, so take your pick. Of course you must have a pint of Guinness and there are a few pubs to choose from.
