About Glenealy
Glenealy is a small, peaceful village in north County Wicklow, set between the coast at Wicklow Town and the wooded uplands around Ashford and Rathdrum. It has a rural, village-centred feel, with detached homes, surrounding farmland and easy access to the scenic valleys and forests of the Wicklow countryside.
