The Vision
Ashford reimagined following its real road layout — the R772 main street transformed into a tree-lined boulevard with artisan shops and outdoor dining, the River Vartry restored with a beautiful stepped stone weir and riverside walkway, a new children's adventure playground by the river, and a community market square — all honouring Ashford's Wicklow heritage while embracing sustainable, people-centred design.
A charming village at the gateway to the Garden of Ireland, nestled in the Wicklow Mountains with the Vartry River flowing through.
