About Ballyknockan

Ballyknockan is a quiet village in County Wicklow, 50 kilometers southwest of Dublin, well-placed for exploring the area's four golf courses including Rathsallagh and Tulfarris. The most straightforward route from Dublin takes the N7 to Naas, then the R410 through Blessington, while drivers from the south can use the M7 and M9 to Kilcullen before picking up the R418. The village maintains one of Ireland's last traditional hand-cut turf operations, where families still harvest peat from ancient bogs using generations-old methods.
