The Municipal District of Arklow

The Municipal District of Arklow lies along the River Avoca, where its valley reaches the Irish Sea on County Wicklow’s coast. The town grew around a harbour shaped by fishing, coastal trade and a long shipbuilding tradition, giving it a distinctly maritime character. Arklow Pottery manufactured ceramics here from 1934 until 1998; its wares remain a familiar part of Irish domestic design. The river estuary, beach and open coastline place Arklow between the sea and the inland landscapes of Leinster.
