Delgany

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Delgany is a small picturesque village in County Wicklow on the R762 between Greystones and the N11 at the Glen of the Downs. It is about 25 km south of Dublin City centre.

It is a suburban village separated from the western edge of Greystones by the adjoining village of Killincarrig. Recently, there has been significant housing development in the vicinity.

The village retains much of its rural character with a general store, a local butcher, a traditional style cafe (for a "fry up" and mug of tea), interior design shop and an Indian restaurant. There are also three pubs and an off-licence.

There is an impressive Church of Ireland parish church and church school and a Catholic Carmelite Convent at either end of the village. Delgany is in the Roman Catholic parish of Kilquade and the parish church is located in Kilquade about 4km south. The local Catholic school is St Lawrence's which is located between Delgany and Greystones.

The village is surrounded by wooded hills which are attractive for for walking, including Kindlestown Wood. [1] A lot of native wildlife including badgers, rats and foxes survive in the mixed woodland of the Glen of the Downs.

Delgany has two golf clubs.
