About Laragh
Laragh is a small, scenic village in the Wicklow Mountains, set along the R755 between Roundwood and Glendalough in County Wicklow (A98). Surrounded by forestry and upland trails, it acts as the main gateway to the monastic site and lakes of Glendalough, giving the area a strong outdoor and tourism-focused character while remaining a close-knit rural community. Daily life centres on a handful of cafés, pubs and small businesses that serve both residents and walkers, with a relaxed, outdoorsy feel throughout the year. Primary education is available locally, with additional primary and secondary options in nearby Rathdrum and Wicklow Town. While there is no rail service in the village, regular bus links connect Laragh with Wicklow Town and Glendalough, and Rathdrum railway station provides onward trains to Dublin and Wexford; the N11 at Ashford links the area to Dublin by car in around an hour. Amenities revolve around the national park, woodland walks and local hospitality venues, making it particularly attractive to hikers, cyclists and families seeking mountain living within reach of larger towns.
