The Parnell National Memorial Park, in the centre of Rathdrum and 17km from Arklow, was established to commemorate local-born Irish nationalist hero Charles Stewart Parnell.
Nearby Avondale House was the birthplace and home of Charles Stewart Parnell (1846-1891) remembered as one of the greatest political leaders in Irish history. The Parnell National Memorial Park contains walks, restful seating areas, streams, bronze deer sculpture and the Feagh McHugh O'Byrne Commemorative Stone. The impressive bronze statue of Parnell overlooks the entire Park and if you are visiting Dublin city centre, you will also find a large granite obelisk and bronze stature of Charles Steward Parnell on the capitals’ main thoroughfare O’Connell Street.
Also within the park surrounds is an outdoor exercise area, children’s playground and free car parking.
Open: 24 hour access
Address Main Street, Rathdrum, Co Wicklow

I tried goldblitz-slot.com not long ago and honestly, it’s one of those games that hooks you with the visuals and keeps you for the features. I was curious after hearing it’s popular in Ireland, and I get why. The wild theme, with wolves and buffalos, gives it a unique vibe. The free spins were where I had the most fun—those giant symbols really add some tension to the spin. I didn’t hit any big jackpots, but the base game still gave decent wins. If you're looking for something with a nice balance between risk and reward, it’s worth checking out.
