About
The Wicklow Polo Academy operates in County Wicklow — known as the Garden of Ireland for its exceptional natural beauty — offering polo instruction in one of the most scenic environments available anywhere in the British Isles. The rolling Wicklow hills, glacial lakes, ancient woodlands, and the dramatic backdrop of the Wicklow Mountains National Park provide a setting of extraordinary natural splendour for polo learning, and students at the academy benefit from both quality instruction and an immersion in one of Ireland's most beautiful landscapes. The academy caters to players at all stages — from complete beginners taking their first polo lesson to established Irish players seeking to improve their handicap — and operates during the Irish outdoor polo season. Ireland's polo community is small but committed, and the Wicklow academy plays an important developmental role in bringing new participants into the sport. The proximity to Dublin — approximately 50 kilometres south of the capital — makes the academy accessible to players from Ireland's largest city, and it draws students from across Leinster who want to experience polo in a uniquely Irish landscape.
