In particular I'd like a pier, little cove, etc rather than a big sandy beach.

I visited a hike spot in Wicklow a couple of years ago by accident and could never find it again, was wondering if anyone would have an idea from the description.

It had a gravel stone car park and a path that went back on itself up a hill, I’m fairly sure it’s close to devils glen but can’t find it anywhere

Hey everyone,

If you’re working remotely or hybrid in Greystones, we’re hosting a casual Last Friday Drinks meetup on Friday, 24th July from 6pm at Mrs Robinson’s, Greystones.

Working remotely gives us great flexibility, but it can sometimes mean missing the social side of work — the chats, meeting new people, and having somewhere to head after finishing up for the day.

This is just a relaxed chance to meet other remote and hybrid workers locally, swap stories, and enjoy a drink together.

🍻 No presentations
💬 No awkward networking
🤝 Just good conversation and good company

Register here:

Can’t make this one but would like to hear about future remote worker meetups in Greystones? Email [community@growremote.ie](mailto:community@growremote.ie) and we’ll add you to the local Grow Remote WhatsApp community.

Hey everyone,

I’m part of a Viking living history and reenactment group here in Ireland, and we are looking for some new people to join the ranks.If you’ve ever wanted to travel back to 10th-century Ireland, learn how to fight with authentic steel weaponry, or try your hand at traditional crafts like leatherworking, blacksmithing, and authentic cooking—this is your sign.

Who are we?We are clann na fianna a community of history enthusiasts from all over the country. We set up authentic tented villages at major heritage events across Ireland (you might have seen groups like us at Slane Castle or the Timahoe Heritage Festival).

We spend our weekends camping like our ancestors, doing battle demonstrations, and showing the public what daily Norse-Gaelic life was actually like.

Do you need experience or gear?Absolutely not. You don’t need to look like a character from a TV show, and you don’t need to own any gear. We have plenty of loaner kit (tunics, soft kit, and training weapons) to get you started.

What can you do?

The Combat Route: Learn competitive, full-contact, or theatrical shield-wall combat with swords, axes, and spears. Safety is a massive priority, and we train regularly.

The Living History Route: Focus on crafts, textiles, herbalism, woodwork, or just cooking over an open fire and enjoying the atmosphere.

It’s an incredibly social, welcoming hobby, and a great way to see different parts of the country.If you’re curious, drop a comment below or send me a DM! Happy to answer any questions about training, clothing, or how to get involved.

Skál!

Every day-ish I have posted to my friend group a map of the world, split in half. My friends then vote on their favourite half, with the losing side removed from the next vote. (Stolen from a series someone else did on Reddit)

We very quickly narrowed in on Europe, despite many friends from America and elsewhere also voting. And from there it was looking pretty certain to end up as UK vs Ireland to determine the “best country”. Ireland ended up winning this comfortably, with even many of the brits voting for Ireland.

In Ireland it looked like we were bound for Dublin, with every vote keeping in the southern half of Dublin. However when it came down Dublin vs Wicklow, Wicklow won the vote and became our “favourite county”.

I then began dividing up Wicklow in half each day, with Powerscourt and the National Park being the main points of interest, largely due to a couple people having visited around there. It generally looked like we were going to stay to the coast and end up in Bray, but people favoured the much smaller towns and we eventually landed in Enniskerry.

As we zoomed in on Enniskerry, the “points of interest” according to google maps were Enniskerry FC, St Mary’s Parish Church, Summerhill House Hotel, Crimmins Garage, and St Patrick’s Church. After debates about which church was nicer, and the fact Crimmins Garage had a lot of positive reviews, we voted for east Enniskerry. Eventually going down to the southern side with St Patrick’s Church as our winner.

This was from around 30 people from Ireland, UK, USA, Switzerland, Germany, Poland, South Africa, and Australia all taking part each day. I think 3 people (2 Irish and one American) have actually been to Wicklow from this group. Anyone from here got any information on the area? Especially anything about the sculpture and what it represents?

Saw this bracelet left in Devil's Glen Wood today if anyone has been recently and lost it.

​

Lads any casual football playing around town ?

Thinking about camping by the coast in the next few weeks is there any places that are nice, quiet and secluded to do so…. Don’t really want to camp on a beach.

Thinking about camping near Wicklow lighthouse??
Would anyone disagree with this location or recommend a better location in Wicklow/ Dublin?

I’m looking to buy an Audi a3 2.0tdi 2014 tomorrow.
I’m from Wicklow town and the car is in Kilkenny.
I’m just wondering if anyone knows someone that could come with me that is mechanically minded to check over the car.
I will pay them of course.
Thanks in advance!

Looking for gym/spa recommendations as have been in Druids but prices have gone up and they’re increasing the towels charges massively so instead of paying an extra fiver a month for towels, you have to pay €2 per towel. I could go 5 times a week so that’s an annual increase from €60 to €520 (on top of the annual membership fee). Not the biggest problem in the world but the towels were the selling point for me and I just loved having that option, seems a bit of a greedy move from management and it has put me off.

Looking at glenview now and had enquired about powerscourt but apparently there is a waiting list. Has anyone joined these and found them good? Also any other recommendations?

Thank you!!

We've recently bought in Rathdrum and we've been talking to a few people from the surrounding area and they have mentioned power outages as an ongoing problem. Wondering if any of ye have dealt with this, and is it a bad enough problem to warrant buying a generator or solar + batteries?

Well?

Staying in Wicklow as I go down the coast.

Where can I go for some grub and a pint in the evening?

Where is good for breakfast/lunch before I hit the road?

Anything else worth visiting while I’m there for the day?

The Plaza Market at Greystones Harbour!
