About Shillelagh
Shillelagh is a small, attractive village in south County Wicklow, close to the borders with Carlow and Wexford and within the Y14 routing area.

Local education is centred on nearby primary schools, with secondary-school choices generally requiring travel to surrounding towns. There is no railway station in Shillelagh, so residents typically rely on cars and regional bus services for commuting, appointments and school travel.

Park House is a notable local landmark and hospitality venue, while the nearby countryside provides ample opportunities for walking, cycling and outdoor recreation.
