Courtnee here provides a lovely forground for the Wicklow mountains. This is an area rich in history. It is where Rory Og O'More hid out and avoided British capture for so long. Even though it is not far from Irelands's largest city, you get the feeling that you are suddenly transported back in time when you arrive in Wicklow from Dublin.The mountains cause dramatic weather changes. It can rain and stop again five times in one hour. Makes it hard to know how to dress.
