About Glenasmole
Glenasmole is a scenic, sparsely settled valley in the Dublin Mountains, within south County Dublin and the D24 area, stretching inland from Bohernabreena towards the hills. It has a strongly rural character, with scattered homes, farmland, woodland and reservoirs rather than a conventional village centre. Living here means peace, open views and direct access to countryside, although everyday shopping, schools and services are generally found in nearby Tallaght, Firhouse, Rathfarnham and Citywest. Local education is centred on schools in those surrounding communities, while commuting usually depends on a car, with bus services available on the approaches through Bohernabreena and Tallaght rather than deep in the valley. The Bohernabreena Reservoirs and surrounding Dublin Mountains provide excellent walking, running and nature access, with the nearby Hell Fire Club and Massy’s Wood adding further destinations. There is no substantial retail or dining strip in Glenasmole itself, so residents typically use Tallaght’s extensive shops, restaurants, cafés and leisure facilities, or the pubs and businesses around Firhouse, Ballyboden and the village of Brittas. The area suits people seeking a rural home within reach of Dublin, but its winding roads, limited public transport and reliance on nearby towns are important practical considerations.
