Unspoiled, is the word that comes to mind. Arklow is a busy work-a-day place with its harbour and many local industries. However, it can also boast a picturesque main street, the longest stone arch bridge in Ireland, two fine beaches and plenty to attract the tourists, including a number of fine pubs.
It also has a large Tescos which, despite whatever misgivings one might have about globalisation and the power of the supermarkets, does a lot to commend the place if you are staying in self-catering accommodation.

Being a big fan of Ruby Murray (and I know she's from Belfast), I've been wondering where or what is Arklow House, in the lyrics of "The Kellys" as sung by Ruby.
