County Dublin

Dublin

County Dublin is big on beautiful sights and spectacular scenery

Dublin Bay

From left to right: Dundrum Town Centre, The Dun Laoghaire Regatta, James Joyce Museum in Sandycove, Dublin Bay

While  Dublin City gets all the attention, Dublin County is a brilliant spot that seduces you into submission with beautiful stretches of sea, atmospheric pubs, a shed load of activities and top cultural attractions. 

Both Howth Head and Dun Laoghaire command spectacular sweeping views out over Dublin Bay, and if you climb Killiney Hill along the south Dublin coast you’ll be rewarded with one of the most incredible panoramas in the whole county. 

The coastline is studded with pretty villages from the southern spots of Dalkey, Glasthule, Dun Laoghaire, Blackrock and Sandymount to the northern villages of Clontarf, Howth, Malahide and Portmarnock, and you’ll be spoiled for choice with restaurants, shops, country houses and top outdoors activities.

Did you know?

The southern suburb of Dun Laoghaire was established by King Laoire in 480AD. Laoire’s fort lasted right up to the 1803 when it was demolished to make way for a Martello Tower, which was built to protect against a possible Napoleonic invasion. The Martello Tower still stands and is now the James Joyce Museum.
