Outdoor Wellness in Donard, County Wicklow
We enjoyed a little slice of heaven at Foxglen, and some much needed self care. It's only been open 6 months, and it was just fabulous. We went on a beautiful hike to start, then enjoyed relaxing time in the sauna and hot tub. I was with a large group so we had exclusive use 🙌
All the experiences / facilities available;
* Sauna and cold-plunge
* Hot tub
* Changing rooms
* Showers
* Light refreshments
Open:
* Friday: 4pm–8pm
* Saturday & Sunday: 11am–7pm
It’s around an hour from Dublin depending on traffic. I promise you it's well worth a drive.
SAVE for your next self care day! ❤️

** I had a couple of comments about men needing a break too. Of course all parents need a break at times. 97% of our followers are female so our content is targeted at mums. **
Thanks to Orla @mojofitnessdonabate for organising ❤️
📍🦭 The Glen Beach Cliff Walk
Also known as the Wicklow Head Cliff Walk, this is a hidden gem in County Wicklow, offering dramatic sea views and a much quieter experience than the more famous Bray-to-Greystones path.
🚂 Getting There from Dublin
The walk starts at Glen Beach, just south of Wicklow Town (about 50km from Dublin).
🚗 By Car (Approx. 1 hour): Take the M11/N11 south. Take Exit 16 for Wicklow/Rathnew. Follow the R750 into Wicklow Town, drive through the town, and pass the entrance to the Wicklow Golf Club. The Glen Beach Car Park is located just after the golf club.
By Public Transport (Approx. 1.5 - 2 hours):
🚃 Train: Take the Commuter or Rosslare Europort train from Dublin Connolly or Pearse Station to Wicklow Station. It is a scenic 25-minute walk from the station through Wicklow Town to reach the trailhead.
🚍 Bus: Take the Bus Éireann 133 from Custom House Quay to Wicklow Town.
🕑 Opening Times
The Trail: There are no gates or official opening hours for the cliff walk itself; it is accessible 24/7
Safety Tip: It is highly recommended to only walk during daylight hours. The path is narrow and runs very close to exposed cliff edges with no handrails.
Car Park: The Glen Beach car park is public and generally accessible at all times, though it is best used during daylight.

Meet Sammy the Seal, a well-known local favorite in Wicklow, Ireland. For more than ten years, Sammy has lived in the harbor and regularly visits The Lighthouse Restaurant three times a day—around 9:00 AM, 1:00 PM, and 4:00 PM—to enjoy fresh herring or mackerel.
What makes Sammy even more amazing is how he moves around town. Before crossing the two-lane road, he usually stops and appears to check for traffic. Local drivers know him well and patiently let him cross before continuing on their way.
Every day, his perfectly timed visits and relaxed walks have made him a much-loved part of the community. Sometimes, Sammy even tries to walk inside the restaurant, but the staff kindly guide him back toward the harbor after giving him his favorite fish.
His daily routine has become a popular attraction for both locals and visitors. Many people stop to watch him arrive, and he has earned a reputation as Wicklow’s most loyal customer.
Sammy’s story is about more than just a seal who loves fish. It shows how wild animals can adapt to living alongside people while still keeping their own unique personality and natural behavior.
With his perfect timing, friendly nature, and love for fresh seafood, Sammy continues to bring smiles to everyone who meets him and reminds us of the special bond that can exist between people and wildlife.

I think Wicklow this one Donegal @melaniecorriganfg
“So moving to rural area is ok for you but nobody else?” 👀
The government is planning to ease some restrictions around planning in rural areas to help people build and settle in their local communities.
David moved from Dublin to the Wicklow countryside and told #Liveline he’s objected to a planning application next to him over fears about his view of Mount Leinster.
I always get asked if there are any Irish chicken goujon products in the supermarkets.. well watch till the end to see the only one I’ve found!
But the first “made in Wicklow” chicken goujons product is a bit of a farce! This would naturally make people think the chicken itself is Irish… but no, it could be either non-eu, eu, or Irish chicken… we really don’t have a clue!! They’re importing the chicken and then processing the product in Wicklow… but labelling legislation should not allow them to write “made in Wicklow” on the front!
This is about transparency for busy consumers who don’t have time to carefully examine the fine print of everything they’re buying! If wording on packaging gives a certain impression, it should accurately reflect what’s inside, especially for shoppers who want to support Irish farmers when they can. We deserve full transparency with where we’re choosing to spend our money and it’s clear labelling legislation needs to change.
What do you think of this? I’d love to know in the comments x

The historic Wicklow Head lighthouses have been part of this coastline for generations, and the walk out there still feels like one of Wicklow’s best hidden gems. The lighthouse trail combines history, beautiful coastal scenery, and some seals along the cliffs if you’re lucky. Lovely walk for a sunny day.
