Druid Glen sits in the Garden of Ireland, and the countryside around it is worth slowing down for. The resort is in Newtownmountkennedy, County Wicklow, roughly 35 kilometres south of Dublin Airport. On the way down, you’ll pass through some of Wicklow’s finest farmland, and the Wicklow Mountains fill the western skyline as you get closer to the resort.
The golf at Druid Glen is the main draw for a lot of guests. The championship course here has hosted the Irish Open, and the combination of mature trees, water features, and Wicklow backdrop makes it genuinely picturesque to play or even just to walk. If you’re arriving for a golf trip, it’s worth flagging to your chauffeur in case he knows a good local warm-up route.
Glendalough is about 25 kilometres southwest of the resort. It’s one of Ireland’s most visited monastic sites, set in a wooded glacial valley with two lakes and a sixth-century round tower that’s still standing. You can be there and back in a morning without any great rushing.
The Wicklow Way walking trail passes through the hills above the resort. It runs 130 kilometres from Marlay Park in Dublin down to Clonegal in County Carlow, but you don’t have to walk the whole thing - the section around Roundwood and the Vartry Reservoir makes for a good half-day out if the weather cooperates.
