The Heritage Plan represents a strategic approach to the management of heritage in county Wicklow that is underpinned by both National and local heritage policy.

The term ‘Heritage’ encompasses a broad range of natural and built heritage elements as set out in the Heritage Act 1995. This includes monuments, archaeological objects, heritage objects, architectural heritage, flora, fauna, wildlife habitats, landscapes, seascapes, wrecks, geology, heritage gardens and parks and inland waterways. Additionally the Wicklow Plan makes provision for other aspects of cultural heritage such as history, genealogy, traditional skills and placenames.
