Description: | Wicklow (meaning church of the toothless one) is a county town in Ireland. It was granted to Maurice FitzGerald who set about building the 'Black Castle' in about 1176, a land-facing fortification that now lies ruined and exposed on the coast immediately south of the harbour. From where it stands, there are fine views along the coast and across the town. In its day the castle had an eventful life frequently under attack by the Irish.
