Ballyboden

united kingdom

Ballyboden sits in the foothills of the Dublin Mountains in South Dublin, a quiet suburban spot about 12 kilometres from the city centre. You'll reach it via the R116 through Terenure and Rathfarnham, or hop on the M50 if you're coming from further out. The area's claim to fame is Ballyboden St. Enda's, Ireland's largest GAA club with over 3,000 members across all sports and ages. There's grand access to several championship golf courses nearby, and the mountains on your doorstep make it a handy base for getting outdoors.
