About Redcross
Redcross is a small rural village in County Wicklow, set inland between Arklow, Avoca and Rathdrum, with the Wicklow Mountains and wooded countryside shaping its surroundings. It has a quiet, close-knit feel, while the nearby coast at Brittas Bay and larger towns such as Arklow provide wider services and employment. Day-to-day life is car-dependent, although the village shop and local pub provide useful meeting points and basic convenience. Families generally look to nearby villages and towns for primary and secondary schooling, with further education and larger retail choices available in Arklow and Wicklow town. The XL Stop & Shop is the most recognisable local transport and convenience point, while access to the N11 makes commuting towards Dublin, Gorey and south Wicklow practical by car. Local social life centres on traditional pubs, community activities and sporting clubs rather than a large restaurant or café scene. Outdoor recreation is a major attraction, with beaches, rivers, forests and the wider Vale of Avoca all within easy reach.
