Wicklow – Escaping South We thought it was high time we took a road trip to Wicklow. Amazingly we had not been there yet. Indeed, a Belfast July was a good excuse to escape south and visit an area that my mum (Knox) knew well as a little girl. Wicklow is best know for its…
‘Rathlin Island Seal Trip’ Home to approximately 150 people, it would take a certain type of character to actually live on Rathlin Island.
