Donabate

united kingdom

Donabate sits on Dublin's east coast, about 20 kilometres north of the city centre and easily reached via the M1 to Junction 4, then the R132 through Rush. Many locals prefer the R107 coastal road from Malahide for the sea views, though it takes a bit longer. The town connects well to Dublin Airport and surrounding areas like Swords through local roads. Regular DART services run from the 1844 railway station to Dublin city in 35 minutes, and the station itself is a gem with its original Victorian limestone facade and cast-iron canopy still intact.
