What makes this spot special

your cousin's local knowledge
Dun Laoghaire

Dun Laoghaire is a Victorian harbour town on Dublin's south coast, about twenty minutes from the city centre. The branch is on the Bray Road, close to the seafront and the DART train line.

The East Pier walk, the Forty Foot swimming spot, and the views across Dublin Bay are right on the doorstep. Dalkey, Killiney Hill, and the start of the Wicklow coastal drive are all within ten minutes.

Dun Laoghaire is the pickup that makes sense if you are staying along the south Dublin coast. You can enjoy the seaside towns by train, then pick up your car when you are ready to head south to Wicklow or west across Ireland.
