Out & About

 

Without getting into the whole Dublin experience, here are a few of our favourites…

YH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7

Useful stuff

Access to Aventine Wellness gardens (yoga, wellness walks, horticultural workshops).

and some other useful contacts…

 

The Locality

 

 

The house is located a seven-minute walk from Foxrock Village, an affluent leafy garden suburb of Dublin that was devised in the 1860s offering ‘the fine air of a district midway between the mountains and the sea’.

Immediately to the South lie the Dublin mountains, which continue on through County Wicklow.

During the civil war Lis na Carrig was raided by anti-treaty forces. It is reported that Michael Collins visited the house just days before his assassination in Co. Cork.

YH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7

The area is notable for Leopardstown Racecourse, which is more than 130 years old and is the only remaining horse-track in the greater metropolitan area. The are several golf clubs nearby – the Foxrock one dates from the same period.

YH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7

Sam Beckett

Samuel Beckett, writer, was born locally in 1906, and the singer Joe Dolan, lived here until his death in 2007.

Getting around

Cycling is an option, but it will be convenient to bring a car as it is quite a walk to the nearest public transport or indeed grocery outlets.

Dublin’s M50 orbital motorway passes nearby, which is very convenient for quick access to points North and West of the City.

YH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7

Carrickmines Green line Luas station tram is about a 20-minute walk away, but it also has a free Park ‘n Ride car park. Trams leave every 10 minutes or so and take about half an hour to St. Stephen’s Green in central Dublin. This can be a convenient way to go, as the line passes the retail units of Dundrum Town Centre, and eliminates parking problems.

Shopping

Fruit and vegetables are available from Thomas’s in the village, just along from the butcher. There is a comprehensive shopping mall at Carrickmines Park which is only about 5 minutes by car, but for most groceries, Dunnes Stores at Cornelscourt is the best bet, 5 minutes in the opposite direction.

How to get there – Car advised..

By Air: Flights to Dublin, Belfast or Shannon airports.
Dublin Airport – is half an hour from the house
Belfast Airport – about 2 and half hours from house.
Shannon Airport – about 2 and half hours from house.

By Sea: Ferry crossings
Dublin City Port/Holyhead has a fast crossing and is just over half an hour from the house
Rosslare Harbour for Ferries to South Wales is just over an hour and a half to the South.
