Hollywood Neighbourhood Guide
Wicklow
About Hollywood
Hollywood is a small rural village in west County Wicklow, set in rolling countryside between the Wicklow Mountains and the Kildare border, with Brannockstown, Dunlavin, Donard, Valleymount and the Glen of Imaal nearby. It has a quiet, close-knit character, with scattered homes and farms around a compact village centre rather than a large suburban housing area. Day-to-day life is peaceful and car-dependent, although the village is well placed for countryside walks, hillwalking and access to the Wicklow uplands. Local education is centred on Hollywood National School, while families also look to primary and secondary schools in nearby towns such as Dunlavin, Blessington and Baltinglass. Hollywood has limited retail provision, so regular shopping and a wider choice of cafés, restaurants, pubs, healthcare and services generally means travelling to Dunlavin, Blessington, Baltinglass or Naas. The village itself provides a modest local stop at Daly’s Service Station Hollywood, while Parking Hollywood Cafe is a useful named local amenity for refreshments and parking. Bus and road connections are the practical transport options, with the N81 corridor towards Blessington and Tallaght providing access towards Dublin, and the regional roads linking the surrounding villages and the Glen of Imaal. The surrounding landscape, village community and proximity to places such as Russborough House and the Wicklow Mountains give Hollywood a particularly attractive rural lifestyle, though commuting and most larger errands require a car.
