About Kilbride
Kilbride is a small, rural locality in County Wicklow, within the A67 area and close to the east coast, with farmland, woodland and scattered homes rather than a defined village centre. It sits conveniently between Wicklow Town, Rathdrum, Redcross, Glenealy and the coastal area around Brittas Bay, giving residents a quiet countryside setting while keeping everyday services within driving distance. Local schooling is centred on nearby primary provision such as St. Mary’s National School in Barndarrig, with further primary and secondary choices available in Wicklow Town, Rathdrum and surrounding villages. A car is generally essential for commuting and shopping, although Dublin Bus services in the wider area and rail stations at Wicklow, Rathdrum and Glenealy provide options for longer journeys. Wicklow Town is the main service and employment centre, offering supermarkets, banks, cafés, restaurants, pubs, healthcare and additional schools. Leisure opportunities include the beaches and coastal walks at Brittas Bay and Silver Strand, along with woodland walks, GAA activities and the broader Wicklow countryside. The area suits residents seeking space and a rural pace, while nearby towns provide the social, retail and community facilities not found within Kilbride itself.
