Glenmalure and Glenmacnass valley are close by. The town has fine shops, crafts, restaurants and evening entertainment and is the film location of films like 鈥淢ichael Collins鈥? 鈥淎 Love Divided鈥?and 鈥淒urango鈥?shot here. Rathdrum is an ideal base for exploring Wicklow by car, bike, horse or best of all, on foot. Right in the heart of Wicklow鈥檚 mountains, forests, wetlands, rivers and lakes, the whole area is an activity paradise. West of Rathdrum lies the scenic valley of Glenmalure, the longest glacier valley in either Ireland or Britain. Shadowed by the mighty Lugnaquilla (927m) its inhospitable terrain provided safe haven for rebels like Fiach McHugh O鈥橞yrne who in 1580 defeated 800 English soldiers in the Battle of Glenmalure. Now a walkers paradise it is situated on the famous Wicklow Way Walk. While in the area you can sample the fine hostelry at Glenmalure Lodge or witness the annual Pike March from Bravore Ford to Dromgoff which is a moving experience of scenery and history. Others it's a beautiful part of Ireland, just outside the South Dublin border in Wicklow. Very pretty...lovely spot |
