Driving through Kilcoole Village IRELAND
Taken from ther top of a double decker bus - giving a unique perspective.
Kilcoole (Irish: Cill Chomhghaill, meaning 'Church of Comhghall') is a village in County Wicklow, Ireland. It is three kilometres (2 miles) south of Greystones, 14 kilometres (9 miles) north of Wicklow, and about 28 kilometres (17 miles) south of Dublin. It was used as the set for the Irish television series Glenroe, which ran through the 1980s and 1990s.
The village has a large industrial estate to the south. An area of marshland runs along the coast from Kilcoole south to Wicklow town, called the Murragh. This area is home to many endangered species of plants and animals. The beach in Kilcoole is the summertime home of the little tern, one of the few places in Ireland where these birds nest. Within the village, is an area of flora known as the Rock which is a huge rock/hill that predates the Cambrian Period.
Kilcoole is in the Roman Catholic parish of Kilquade, and the local church, St. Anthony's Church, cost £35,000 to build in the 1960s.

The coves of Dalkey and South Dublin
Last weekend I cycled out along the south Dublin coast, visiting the small coves clustered around Dalkey.
Constructed of old granite and relatively unchanged for ages past, on a sunny day they would make you think you were on the Med or somewhere.
Dalkey itself is also a great place. One of the few real 'villages' in the city that retains its own character. It is home to 3 old castles and serene main street. A great place to sit back with a coffee.
