Kippure Estate is magnificently set in a wild and wonderful valley in the heart of the West Wicklow Mountains… a paradise for nature lovers, rich in history, proud of its magical scenery.  Because Wicklow West is still relatively undiscovered and thinly populated, the region is a fantastic destination for those who love the outdoors, as it is free of crowds and pollution.    

The estate’s extensive private grounds are ideal for rambling and exploring, picnics, barbecues or just reading your book in the sunshine - 240 acres (1.6 sq km) of mature woodland and ancient meadows full of magic discoveries…   The perfect family holiday destination!   

The fledging River Liffey forms the southern boundary of the estate – walking along the bank on a summer’s evening is spectacular.  The Wicklow Mountains National Park stretches to the horizon, almost surrounding the estate.  Just a few minutes walk from your accommodation there is easy access onto open mountain country via a bridge across the River Liffey. 

There are two house types for you to choose from:
