Why not come with us on our Journey through West Wicklow where we travel to Lacken and hear from local people who remember the flooding of their homes in 1939 in order to make way for the Poulaphouca reservoir, a nostalgic trip down memory lane to Blessington, Manor Kilbride where we pay a quick visit to the centuries old Manor, the original Hollywood and its link with Saint Kevin. Come with us to Derrynamuc the cottage from where the famous Wicklow Chief Michael Dwyer made his dramatic escape in the 1798 rebellion, and who was Elizabeth Smith and why are her diaries of invaluable national importance today? and finally to our last stop the pretty and historic town of Baltinglass.
