Bracknell is a small tranquil town set in a beautiful rural landscape. 

Established originally to service the needs of the forestry industry, Bracknell is now a service centre for the farming community. Dairying and livestock production has been a mainstay, and is now being diversified through the expansion of activities such as poppy production for the pharmaceutical industry. 

The town has a range of services; post office, service station, corner store and take-away, recreation ground, community hall, and sports hall. The Uniting Church is an interesting old building, built in the 1800s. 

Nearby is Liffey Falls, a major attraction in the area. 

Bracknell also has an Online Access Centre, where the public can access the internet, e-mail, computers, colour printer and scanner.
