Which is a nicer town - Blessington or Baltinglass ?

Number 10 Shirt

Firstly I'm not trying to decide which town to move to ! I have been coming up from Wexford on the bus for years and passed through both towns on the way.Just wondering which town is nicer in your view as I don't know either place all that much.Blessington seems to be a much more pleasant town as you drive through it.Baltinglass has some nice houses approaching from the Tullow side and the apartments near the bus stop are nice but apart from that Baltinglass always seems a very dull place.

Blessington is nicer..
Nicer to go out in and Dublin Bus does the 65 bus through it.
Although it is full of Dubs..

Havn't been to either but based on friends/families experience, Blessington.

Can't stand the anti-blow in mentality here

Just remind them that they wouldn't have the few facilities they enjoy in the town if the population hadn't been boosted.

Anyway, you'll always be a blow-in I'm afraid. My father moved out here from Marino over 30 years ago. He's still a blow-in in the eyes of the locals.

Well I'm from Laragh so a wicklow man all the way. I lived in Dublin for a period of my life and regardless of my Laragh/Wicklow status still get referred to as a Dub! Some people there is just no pleasing them.

Both are beautiful, and both have different qualities.
I live in Baltinglass, we originally looked at blessington though - but we wanted to move a bit further out....
Blessington is gorgeous, great facilities, on a bus route to dublin
You have the country feel, yet you are so close to Dublin.

Baltinglass is beautiful - although to some it looks dull - it depends on what you are into.
Personally we love the simple life down here - the little things like the staff in the local shops are always so pleasant, everyone knows everyone (which can have its positives and negatives)

Both blessington and baltinglass are full of dubs - so what??
We are dubs, and we dont plan on ever moving back!
We love it here!!
The one negative is the N81 - death trap!
