History & Heritage Resources
Our Wicklow Heritage - History of RathdrumTown Traffic Warning:
Driving through the town centre can be tricky at times, especially as the Main Street narrows in the middle. Please wait and allow oncoming traffic through if it will avoid a blockage. Note that buses and large vehicles need a wide turning circle so avoid parking near junctions; the double yellow lines and round plant pots are there for a reason.
Please leave parking on the Main Street and Market Square for residents and those that are unable to walk far.
Rathdrum Traffic Part 8 - proposed plan for new one-way system in Rathdrum. Submissions and observations should be made before 12 noon Friday 16th January 2026
