Just outside Dublin, Enniskerry retains its small village charm. With just under 2,000 residents it's a Wicklow gem.

Laurence Olivier's Henry V was filmed here in 1944, and the most recent large production was Disney's 2022 Disenchanted. Other movies of note include PS, I Love You, Into the West and Leap Year.
It has also played host to the TV series Ballykissangel, HBO's Vikings was filmed nearby and the now defunct Tour of Ireland cycle race which hada single outing departed from here.
Wicklow is a place for the outdoors.
There are loads of local walks by riverside and up on to the hills toward the famous Wicklow Way walking trail. Enniskerry is known as the Gateway to County Wicklow. In turn, Wicklow is referred to as the Garden County.
Other walking areas nearby include the Sugarloaf, forests and Powerscourt Waterfall. For the less adventurous, enjoy village life, with pubs, restaurants (literally next door) and the famous Powerscourt Estate just up the hill. There is something for every level.

With forestry trails nearby, long steep mountain roads for ascending and descending, gravel roads and more, the only thing slowing you will be stopping to view the scenery.
The roads around here are a challenge. The Tour de France guys certainly thought so when it passed through Wicklow in 1998.
