Wicklow town forms a rough semicircle around Wicklowharbour.
To the immediate north lies 'The Murrough', a popular grassy walking area
beside the sea, and the eastern coastal strip. The Murrough is a place of
growing commercial use, so much so that a road by-passing the Town directly to
the commercial part of the area commenced construction in 2008 and was
completed in summer of 2010. The land rises into rolling hills to the west. The
dominant feature to the south is the rocky headlands of Bride's Head
