Roundwood, historically known as Tóchar^[2] (Irish: an Tóchar [ənˠ ˈt̪ˠoːxəɾˠ], meaning 'the causeway'), is a village in County Wicklow, Ireland. As of the 2022 census, Roundwood had a population of 907 people.^[1]

Geography

Roundwood is located where the R755 road joins the R764 and R765. The R755 is part of the main route from Dublin to Glendalough in the Wicklow Mountains. At 238 metres above sea level, Roundwood is one of the highest villages in Ireland. Vartry Reservoir (reservoir lakes built in the 1860s) are close by.

History

Roundwood has a connection with two former Presidents of Ireland. Seán T. O'Kelly (1882–1966) lived at Roundwood Park, an early 19th-century country house that was subsequently "remodelled in castle style".^[3] Erskine Hamilton Childers (1905–1974) is buried in Derrylossary Church of Ireland churchyard near the village.^[4] This Church of Ireland (Anglican) church was built c. 1820 and is now disused.^[4] The local Catholic church, the Church of Saint Laurence O'Toole, was built between 1867 and 1871 and faces onto Roundwood's main street.^[5] Both churches are included in the Record of Protected Structures maintained by Wicklow County Council.^[6] Several other structures in the area, including several buildings associated with the Vartry Reservoir, are also listed as protected structures.^[6]

Sport

The local Gaelic football and ladies' Gaelic football club is An Tóchar GAA.

Twin towns — sister cities

Roundwood is twinned with the village of Spézet, in Brittany, northwestern France.^[7] The schools in both areas regularly communicate and engage with another. For many years, exchange programmes have been in place for the students.^{[citation needed]}
