Glen Of The Downs Neighbourhood Guide
Wicklow
About Glen Of The Downs
Glen of the Downs is a small, scenic locality in County Wicklow, centred on the wooded Glen of the Downs nature reserve and the N11 corridor between Delgany and Kilmacanogue. It has a rural, leafy feel, with homes and businesses spread along local roads rather than a conventional village centre. Residents are close to the services of Delgany and Greystones, while Bray and Dublin are accessible for larger-scale shopping, work and entertainment. Schooling nearby includes Schoolhouse in Delgany, with additional primary and secondary options in Delgany, Greystones and surrounding north Wicklow. The N11 is the principal commuting route, and bus services connect the area with Bray, Greystones, Wicklow and Dublin; rail services are available from nearby Greystones and Kilcoole. Everyday shopping, cafés, restaurants and pubs are concentrated in Delgany, Greystones and Kilmacanogue rather than Glen of the Downs itself. Outdoor life is a major attraction, with woodland walks, the nearby Sugar Loaf area, Wicklow Way access and coastal amenities around Greystones all within easy reach.
