    It's small and pretty quiet. There's a nice courthouse there.

    Dunlavin is probably one of the more historic towns in the west of wicklow. The courthouse is only one place of interest. The courthouse probably needs to be shot blasted AGAIN. Looks tired. Oh many a good evening I had around the pillars of the court house.
    You have the Dunlavin Green, of which many a song or two is dedicated to. Even to this day people take out the metal detectors and still find the odd old penny or two.
    There are many old ruins around the area, Tober, Tournant etc. worth taking a peek at.
    Brian Boru is stated to have fought one of his major "wars" in the locality.

    Sometimes one would think he is still there on a Saturday night. Only joking of course.

    It is many years since I lived there and then it was the kind of village where everybody knew everybody and one could leave the front door open and arive home to find the neighbour making tea. Not now though.
    The people are still friendly. The older ones anyway.
