Greenan Neighbourhood Guide
Wicklow
About Greenan
Greenan is a scattered rural locality in east County Wicklow, centred around the wooded valleys and upland countryside between Aughrim, Rathdrum and the Glenmalure area. It is known especially for Greenan Maze and Farm Museum, while the wider landscape offers open farmland, forest roads, streams and views towards the Wicklow Mountains. Homes here are generally detached and country-based, with a quiet, private feel rather than a conventional village centre. Day-to-day shopping, schools and services are typically reached by car in Aughrim, Rathdrum or Wicklow’s larger towns. Aughrim provides a particularly useful nearby base for groceries, cafés, pubs and community services, while Rathdrum adds rail access and a broader range of shops and amenities. The area suits people seeking outdoor living, with walking, cycling, fishing and access to mountain destinations including Glenmalure and Glendalough. Local social life is centred on village pubs, cafés, GAA and community activities, and commuting is principally by car via the regional road network towards Arklow, Wicklow, the N11 and Dublin.
