Lough Tay

Exploring the breathtaking Wicklow Mountains, IRELAND.

http://www.theroamingrenegades.com/2015/04/exploring-breathtaking-Wicklow-Mountains.html

Whilst in Dublin recently to celebrate St Patrick's day we wanted to get out of the city and see some of the famous Irish countryside. We had visited Dublin last year and pretty much done everything there was to do in this beautiful city and so took the opportunity of our second visit to spread our wings a little and take in the breath taking mountains lying only a short trip from the city centre.... Here's our exploration of the amazing Wicklow Mountains.

This spot is one of the acquirements of Trover!
Before the Ireland trip, i saw a nice picture of the Lough Tay, where i haven't heard before, then added it to my list.
Thus, we had a chance to see this beauty.

I hope it will conduce to another discovery for somebody else, too. (:

Lough Tay, is often referred to as "Guiness Lake" since the Guiness Estate lies at the end of the lake (not pictured). This was one of my favourite views while walking the Wicklow Way in Ireland.

7.4/10 Good! (19 reviews)

The Homestay Room was clean and modern. It is close to a petrol station convience store. A pub and take away is in walking distance. Ciara checked me in and was accomodating. I had difficulty using the house key and shower controls due to my infamiliarity. All said I enjoyed my stay in Ballyboughal.
