#2. Enniskerry, Newtownmountkennedy, Kilcoole, Delgany, Greystones

The second day I brought my dad with me to Enniskerry and cycled together to the Powerscourt Waterfall, after which we split and I went on visiting four more places. Elevation-wise, this trip was slightly less crazy than Day 1, but certainly hilly. It was 37km in total, ending in Greystones and taking the train back to Bray.

Third Stamp - Enniskerry

First stop was Enniskerry, a place I mainly associate with the bus stop to the Powerscourt Gardens, with lovely places to chill after a steep climb on a bike.

I got the third stamp in the Poppies coffee place, after which I sat down with dad to replenish.

The Powerscourt Waterfall is about 6 km away from Enniskerry and is an awesome place to take epic photos, especially during the summer.

On my way to Newtownmountkennedy, the Sugarloaf was glaring at me from afar.

Fourth stamp - Newtownmountkennedy

NTMK is the home of my favourite beer - Wicklow Wolf! Several weeks after this first visit of the brewery I would have gone a second time to get a stack of cans. You know, for any upcoming occasions during the coming semester.

​

And then for New Years I got a Wicklow Wolf t-shirt and more cans!

​

Anyway, I got the stamp from Fishers of NTMK Department Store. Two failed attempts to do it right but still there!

Fifth stamp - Kilcoole

Kilcoole was feeling a bit empty at the start but when I searched for stamping locations I learned about the Glenroe Farm! They had sheep there and other animals for kids to play with. Also a squirrel was racing me on the fence next to me when I was cycling back.

I got the 6th stamp from a pub where their stamp machine was broken but they fixed it just for me!

They have one of the best bakeries in Wicklow here - the Firehouse.

Kindlestown castle is quite literally in the middle of a residential area - very easy to miss yet so worth the visit

Greystones

I got the seventh stamp from the Happy Pear in Greystones. And being wrecked after a whole day of cycling, I got the dart back to Bray.
