STRATFORD

Stratford is a quiet village in one of the most scenic areas of West Wicklow. The Village's name is derived from the Stratford family of the 18th century who founded a textile printing mill in the area. Also known as Stratford-on-Slaney the village rests on the river Slaney which rises in the western Wicklow mountains and flows south west through the county to its mouth into the Irish sea at Wexford Town.

Stratford-on-Slaney has been Wicklow's tidiest village for over the last twenty years.
