About Rathmichael
Rathmichael is a leafy, semi-rural residential area in south County Dublin, on the foothills between Shankill, Loughlinstown, Kilternan and Bray. It has a quiet, spacious character, with detached homes, mature greenery and countryside views, while remaining within reach of Dublin city and the M50. The area is particularly associated with Rathmichael Parish and its historic church, and with access to the Dublin Mountains and coastal south Dublin. Local day-to-day shopping is generally centred on nearby Shankill, Carrickmines and Cherrywood rather than Rathmichael itself, with larger retail provision at Dundrum and Bray. Residents use nearby cafés, restaurants and pubs in Shankill, Cabinteely, Stepaside, Bray and the villages around the N11 corridor. Families have a range of primary and secondary schools within a short drive, although school runs and commuting are typically car-dependent from the more rural parts. Public transport is available from nearby Shankill and the DART at Shankill and Bray, while Dublin Bus routes and the M50 provide broader connections. Leisure options include local GAA and football clubs, golf, equestrian facilities, woodland walks and the coast at nearby Shankill and Bray.
