This is why I feel Balto is the best place to live in Ireland. 

Church, Baltinglass, Ireland.

Baltinglass Town- Small in Size but Big in Heart!

Well, Beautiful Baltinglass is the name of a small town in Co. Wicklow, the Garden of Ireland. Small in size but big in heart! This picturesque, peaceful and prosperous landscaped beauty is nearby some of the world’s most glamorous greeneries like Glendalough and Powerscourt. Baltinglass is popularly called The Right-hand Man of Glorious Glendalough!

Slaney Park, Baltinglass, Ireland.

If River Slaney adds gleams and sparkles to the greenery, then it is the Baltinglass residents who add oil to the forever-burning fire of hope, aspirations and life of the town’s inner beauty- the people themselves! While Ireland feels a little shaky in present times, it is no doubt she will arise once again because of the determination, strength and courage of people like those of Baltinglass residents! The feet of every nation’s citizen can touch this soil and be witness to the world’s most welcoming smile, warmth and love they have ever experienced. A world of friendship and humour awaits them all!

Moreover, these people gems can be found in Baltinglass’ Community parks, Library, Churches, Schools, Clubs, Associations, Recreational Centres, Cultural Organisations, Local Stores, Pubs and Supermarkets.

The transport system of various bus and taxi services to other Towns/Counties/Airports have encouraged Tourists to not only experience and enjoy these festivals but also visit local historical sites like The Hill Fort and The Courthouse.

Whether Politics, Sports or Arts, Baltinglass is home to historical personalities like Sam McAllister, Richard Crosbie, Jennie Wyse Power and John Thomond O’Brien.

Baltinglass, a great frame for photography lovers, was also chronicled as the backdrop for many documentaries, soaps and feature films.

And thus, like I stated in the beginning, Baltinglass, the small town, may be small in size but it definitely is big in heart because of the people who have made this town what it is today. This makes it the best place to live in Ireland.

As passed on by the elders, the children of Baltinglass will surely carry the torch for a more happier, stronger and prosperous tomorrow.

However, for the moment and for the future, this is the place I want to live in and these are the people I want to live with because this is Baltinglass and I am in love with her, my Beautiful Baltinglass!!!
