Where Is Falconry Ireland Located and How Do I Get There?

Updated

Falconry Ireland is at Rednagh Hill, Aughrim, County Wicklow, Y14N275, Ireland. The centre sits in the countryside around Woodenbridge, on the banks of the Goldmines river, and the website states it is less than 2 hours from Dublin city centre. If you are driving from Dublin or elsewhere in Leinster, plan for a car journey of up to two hours and use the Eircode Y14N275 for the final approach. The site also publishes a "Directions to Falconry Ireland" section, so check that page before setting out for the most current turn-by-turn guidance.

The address and what surrounds it

Detail Information
Address Rednagh Hill, Aughrim, County Wicklow, Y14N275, Ireland
Area Woodenbridge, County Wicklow
Setting Rolling countryside on the banks of the Goldmines river
Distance from Dublin Less than 2 hours from Dublin city centre
Region County Wicklow, the "Garden of Ireland"

The centre describes itself as being deep in the Garden of Ireland, in countryside that has a long tradition of country sports. That rural setting is part of the experience: you are not visiting a town-centre attraction, so the last part of the trip is on country roads.

Getting there by car

Driving is the practical option for most visitors, since the centre is in a rural part of County Wicklow rather than in a town with a rail or bus stop at the gate.

  1. Set your destination as the Eircode Y14N275, or search for Falconry Ireland, Rednagh Hill, Aughrim, County Wicklow.
  2. Allow up to 2 hours from Dublin city centre, and add time for traffic leaving the city.
  3. Follow the site's own "Directions to Falconry Ireland" page for the final approach, as rural Eircodes can cover a stretch of road rather than a single gate.
  4. Expect narrow country roads near Woodenbridge and the Goldmines river; drive the last section slowly and watch for signage.

Expected result: you arrive at the centre with time to spare before your session. Most listed adventures have a check-in time of 11:15, so build in a buffer rather than aiming to arrive exactly at 11:15.

Timing your arrival

Check-in for the standard falconry experiences is listed as 11:15, and the experiences run for 2 hours plus. Corporate experiences have different durations (1 hour, 2 hours, or 3 hours depending on group size) and are arranged separately. If you are booking a standard experience, treat 11:15 as the arrival deadline, not the start of your drive.

Common snags to plan around

  • Rural roads and Eircodes. In the Wicklow countryside, an Eircode can point to a general area. Use the centre's directions page rather than relying on the Eircode alone.
  • No stated public transport. The website does not list rail or bus connections, so do not assume you can reach the centre without a car or a booked transfer.
  • Dublin traffic. The "less than 2 hours" figure is a distance estimate; leaving Dublin at peak times can push it longer.
  • Weather and country roads. This is open countryside by a river, so allow extra time in wet conditions.

Before you go

The centre asks visitors to contact it for more information and provides a contact form, a phone line ("Call Us Now"), and a Facebook page. If you are unsure about the final approach, parking, or which entrance to use, contact the centre directly before your visit and confirm the directions for the day.
