About the town

Donard

Donard is a small west Wicklow village closely linked with the Glen of Imaal, Lugnaquilla and some of the county's most dramatic mountain scenery. It is a strong base for visitors who want access to high, open landscapes rather than coastal towns or busy visitor centres. The village sits in a quieter part of Wicklow, where the roads open out towards valleys, hills and walking routes that feel remote and expansive. Donard is especially relevant for confident walkers and visitors exploring the west Wicklow side of the mountains. It also connects well with Blessington, Hollywood, Baltinglass and the wider Glen of Imaal area.
