Aughrim village is situated at the junction of several mountain valleys straddling the rivers Ow and Derry. The picturesque village is famous for its granite and is often referred to as The Granite City due to the large amount of local buildings constructed using this stone. Aughrim has a long tradition of involvement in the National Tidy Towns competition and has won numerous Tidy Towns Awards over the last 25 years. The village won the title of The tidiest small town in Ireland in 2006 as well as holding the county title for the last 11 years. Aughrim has also received a gold award in the international Entente-Florale competition which is coveted by every town in Europe.
