- The O'Byrnes and the O'Toole's founded the Franciscan Abbey eight hundred years ago, there are now only four walls standing and they are covered with ivy. It is said there is a secret passage leading to the sea and people think that there is a hidden treasure there, although no one has ever found the passage they say it will be very soon discovered.

- Why is Wicklow like a burnt out candle
Because its Wick-low.
Why is Wicklow like a pin.
It has a head and a point
What is it that a Hatter cannot supply.
Provide a hat for Wicklow Head.- Collector
