About Aughrim
Aughrim is a picturesque village in south County Wicklow, set in the wooded valley of the Ow River and often known as the “Granite Village” for its distinctive local-stone buildings. It has a peaceful, community-oriented character, with attractive streetscapes, surrounding hills and easy access to the wider Wicklow countryside. Day-to-day life is village-based, with local shops, cafés, pubs and services, while larger shopping trips are typically made in Arklow, Gorey or Tullow. Families are served by local primary education and nearby secondary schools, with school transport important for some rural households. The village is reached mainly by road, and the former railway heritage at the Old Station House reflects Aughrim’s transport history; most commuting is car-based, with bus connections available in the wider area. Residents can enjoy the riverside setting, walks, community facilities and nearby Greenan, Tinahely, Woodenbridge and Ballinaclash. Local pubs, sports organisations and community groups contribute to a sociable atmosphere, while the Wicklow Mountains and coast are within straightforward driving distance.
