South Wicklow border town on the Wicklow–Carlow boundary — gateway to Keadeen Mountain and the hill country above the plains.
About the town
Hacketstown
Hacketstown sits on the south-western edge of County Wicklow, close to the Carlow border. The town is at the foot of a broad hill massif that rises towards Keadeen Mountain and the Camarahill ridge — walking country that sees few visitors but offers open views across the midland plains. The town itself is a quiet service centre for the surrounding agricultural hinterland. For walkers using the Lugnaquilla or Keadeen approaches from the west, Hacketstown is the nearest town to pass through.
