Wicklow is considered the heart of Ireland’s Ancient East and visitors can explore many ancient religious buildings, pre-historic places of worship, and the Wicklow Jail which tells the jail of the 1798 Rebellion in Wicklow Jail. There are also many centuries-old gardens and homes still standing in Wicklow. Some of the most famous and well-preserved gardens are at Powerscourt and Mount Usher.
