Roundwood

Published by Visit Wicklow on 25 February 2015

Roundwood

Roundwood (Irish: An Tochar, meaning The Causeway) is a village in County Wicklow, Ireland. It was listed as having a population of 948 in the census of 2016. It is located on the R755 road which is part of the main route from Dublin to Glendalough in the Wicklow Mountains. At 238 metres above sea level, it is one of the highest villages in Ireland.

Roundwood has a close association with two former Presidents of Ireland, Seán T. O’Kelly who lived locally and Erskine Childers who is buried in Derralossary Churchyard near the village. Vartry Reservoir Lakes (reservoirs built in the 1860s) are close by.
