Country:

Clontarf (Cluain Tarbh, meaning "meadow of the bull" in Irish) is a picturesque coastal suburb situated on the Northside of Dublin, around 5 km from the city centre. Known for its seaside promenade, Georgian and Victorian architecture, and abundant green spaces, it is widely considered one of Dublin’s most desirable residential areas.

Clontarf Today

The Promenade & Dublin Bay: A wide 3 km coastal walkway and cycle track stretches along the bay, offering views across to the Poolbeg chimneys, Howth Head, and Dun Laoghaire.
Bull Island & Dollymount Strand: Just off the coast of Clontarf lies North Bull Island, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve connected by a historic wooden bridge. It features a nature reserve, championship golf courses, and Dollymount Strand.
St. Anne’s Park: Bordering Clontarf and Raheny, this sprawling 240-acre public park was originally the estate of the Guinness family (the brewing dynasty). It contains walled rose gardens, woodland trails, weekend food markets, and classical follies.
