About Hollywood
Hollywood is a small village in west County Wicklow, in the rolling countryside between Blessington, Dunlavin and the Glen of Imaal, with the W91 routing area extending across a largely rural hinterland. It has a quiet, close-knit feel, with traditional village buildings, farmland and the Wicklow uplands shaping the landscape. Day-to-day life is peaceful and car-dependent, although Dublin and Naas are practical destinations for larger-scale employment, shopping and services. Local education is centred on Hollywood National School, while secondary-school choices are generally found in nearby towns such as Blessington, Naas and Baltinglass. The village has limited but useful local provision, including Parking Hollywood Cafe and Daly’s Service Station Hollywood, with further groceries, cafés, pubs and restaurants available in Dunlavin, Blessington and Baltinglass. Outdoor life is a major attraction, with walking, cycling and hill activities around the Wicklow Mountains, the Glen of Imaal and nearby Blessington Lakes. Local community and sporting life is supported by village organisations and neighbouring GAA clubs, while the Hollywood Fair and the surrounding historic churches and countryside add to the area’s identity. Regular private-car travel is the norm, with bus connections and wider rail services accessed from surrounding towns rather than from Hollywood itself.
