Arklow, Port town in County Wicklow, Ireland
The River Avoca flows through this coastal settlement, which features numerous stone buildings and connects to the Irish Sea coast in southeast Ireland.
Vikings established this settlement in the ninth century, naming it Arnkell-ló, and it received its borough charter in 1206 for local governance.
The annual Seabreeze Festival brings together local residents for celebrations of maritime traditions, music performances, and seafood specialties.
The town connects to Dublin through the M11 motorway and regular rail services on the Dublin-Rosslare line, with multiple educational institutions serving the population.
The Nineteen Arches Bridge, stretching across the River Avoca, stands as the longest handmade stone bridge in Ireland.
