The Wicklow Trail Ride, starting at Calliaghstown Riding Centre, explores the beautiful Wicklow Mountains and Glens of the "Garden of Ireland" finishing in the Monastic 7th Century village of Glendalough.
- County Wicklow, on the east coast of Ireland, is lush, green and beautiful, with spectacular views of the Irish Sea from the many green hilltops and mountain tops
- This horseback riding vacation takes you through County Wicklow's diverse countryside, along river banks, over rugged mountains, through huge pine forests and along gentle lake shores.
- This is one of the most historically important areas of Ireland. The many lakes and shores in the valley are magnificent during the day. At night when a fog rolls in, the ghosts of ancient Celts seem to rise out of the dark blue waters.
- Knowledgeable, friendly, and experienced guides will provide information about the ecology, the myths and legends and the history of the area.
- This is a fantastic place for trail riding. It combines great natural beauty, a long and interesting history and lovely local people.
- The horses you will ride are fit and fully capable of negotiating the terrain. Over the five days riding, riders will tour between four and five hours each day.
- All riders are expected to be able to walk, trot and canter in open country with confidence and control. There are several optional jumps along the trail.
- Each night, riders will enjoy a delicious meal, a refreshing drink, a hot shower or bath and a change of clothes. Luggage will be waiting at each stop. The accommodations are warm, comfortable and welcoming. Each guest house provides a unique experience and an opportunity to meet the Irish at home.
- As Dublin is so close, you may want to plan a trip to Ireland's greatest city before or after your trail ride.
