County Wicklow lies on the R772regional road . Until recently Ashford was on the mainDublin -Wexford route, the N11, but was bypassed by the new N11 in 2004. This has made a great change to the traffic problem that was before the bypass was installed.Ashford is about km to mi | 3 | abbr=yes | precision=1 north of
Rathnew , which is on the outskirts ofWicklow Town.The Mount Usher Gardens and Arboretum are located in the village. The gardens were previously owned and operated by Madelaine Jay and the Jay family, but recently the gardens and shopping courtyard were sold to the Avoca Handweavers company, which originated in
Kilmacanogue , County Wicklow, and which has been owned and operated by the Pratt family for many generations.In recent years the village has seen rapid growth as it becomes part of the Dublin commuter belt.
