About Valleymount
Valleymount is a small rural village in west County Wicklow, on the eastern shore of Poulaphouca Reservoir, with the Wicklow Mountains forming a dramatic backdrop. It has a quiet, close-knit character, with scattered homes, farmland and lakeside scenery rather than a conventional suburban layout. Daily life is peaceful and car-dependent, although Blessington is the nearest larger service centre for supermarkets, schools, cafés, banks, healthcare and regular errands. Valleymount has a local primary school and community facilities, while secondary-school options are principally in Blessington and nearby towns. The village pub provides an important social focus, and the surrounding area is well suited to walking, fishing, cycling and water-based recreation around the reservoir. Road connections are primarily via the R756 and R758, linking towards Blessington, Hollywood, Laragh and the wider Wicklow uplands; Dublin commuting is possible by car, but journey times vary with rural roads and traffic. Notable nearby attractions include Russborough House and Gardens, Blessington Lakes and the Wicklow Gap, while the Glen of Imaal and Glendalough are accessible for broader outdoor activities.
