Baltinglass Abbey is an impressive Abbey a few minutes walk from Baltinglass village. It was founded by Dermot Mac Murragh the King of Leinster for the Cistercian monks. It was called "the valley of Salvation". The arches are the standout feature of this Abbey standing on alternating round and square pillars. The abbey ceased to function as an Abbey in the mid 16th century. Connected to the Abbey is an impressive mausoleum constructed for the Stratford Family. The large stone pyramid on top is reminiscent of the free masons.

Our Wicklow day tour from Dublin brings you to a working sheep farm, Baltinglass Abbey, Glenmalure valley, Glendalough, Lough Tay and the Sally Gap.

Lough Tae really is the most extraordinary lake. The black water, the white sand beach and the river flowing in make it unmistakably like a pint of Guinness, and surprisingly the surrounding estate belongs to the Guinness family.

The amount of homeless people on the street is rapidly increasing in Ireland. Focus Ireland estimates that there are up to 5,000 people at any one time who are homeless in Ireland.
As part of tackling this problem and making things a little bit easier for those homeless, Basecamp have started an initiative in association with Dublin City Council and Crosscare Social Support Services, which is a backpack challenge to help the homeless.
The aim of this challenge is to get as many backpacks as possible filled and sent up to the Bru Aimsir service that is currently housing 100 homeless people every night in Thomas St.
The backpack challenge can be filled with a wide range of things such as
• Hats
• Water Bottles
• Socks
• Scarves
• Long Sleeved T-Shirts
• Waterproof Clothes
• Jackets
• Flasks
• Toiletries
• Hoodies
• Jumpers
• Lip Balm
Backpacks can be dropped into the Basecamp store in Middle Abbey St or dropped directly into the Crosscare Staff in Thomas St. Want to help the homeless this Christmas? Create a video yourself today and nominate friends/family on Social Media to get them involved.

This year the homeless crisis in Dublin has hit an all-time high. It really is a heart breaking sight to see so many people out in the cold every day. As par...

Lough Tay better known as the Guinness lake is situated in one of the most scenic areas in the Wicklow mountains. It is situated between the mountains of Djouce and Luggala. The guinnes family own an estate that borders the northern edge. The peaty water and a beach of white sand give the lake a startling resemblance to a pint of Guinness. I am pretty sure it doesn't taste as good!! The surrounding countryside is awe inspiring and is guaranteed to take your breath away!!

This is the best time of year to explore the Wicklow mountains. There are less tourists so the attractions are quieter. The leaves are turning colour witch adds fantastic contrast to the mountains. The heather has turned a fantastic purple colour which is a sight not to be missed.
