About Aughrim
Aughrim is a small, attractive village in south County Wicklow, set in the wooded Avonbeg valley between Tinahely, Woodenbridge and Ballinaclash, with the Wicklow Mountains to the west. Known as the “Granite Village” for its local stone buildings and walls, it has a settled rural character, while nearby farmland, forests and river walks give residents plenty of access to the countryside. Daily life is village-based: local shops, cafés, pubs and community services cover essentials, with a wider range of retail and services available in Arklow, Gorey and Wicklow’s larger towns. Families have access to local primary schooling and secondary options in nearby towns, while bus services and the R752 provide connections towards Arklow, Tinahely and the wider region. Aughrim is particularly suited to people seeking a quieter setting, although commuting generally depends on a car and local public transport is more limited than in east-coast towns. Leisure revolves around walking, GAA and other community activities, with the Aughrim River, nearby forest trails and the village’s Riverside Walk among its notable attractions. The area also provides convenient access to Woodenbridge, Greenan and the scenic routes towards Aughavannagh and the Wicklow uplands.
