Short day trip from Rathfarnham. 30 minute drive. Lovely village. Houses of character. Residence of note in Dalkey and Killiney: Bono, Van, Enya, home of Maeve Binchy. Beautiful coastal walks along Vico Road. Dalkey and Killiney run into each other - combine with Killiney Hill or a trip out to Dalkey Island. Worth exploring this area on a sunny day.
