It is lying on the N11 motorway, three miles south of Bray - the principal town of Wicklow. Nestled inbetween the Big and Little Sugarloaf Mountains, it is in one of the most scenic parts of the county, being at the northern point of the Wicklow Mountains, and beside the Glen of the Downs. The village is named for Saint Mocheanog, a companion of Saint Patrick, who, according to Irish legend, baptised the children of Lir just before their death.
