About Glenasmole
Glenasmole is a rural, scenic valley in south County Dublin, within the Dublin Mountains and the D24 routing area, lying south of Bohernabreena and close to Brittas. It is characterised by dispersed homes, wooded hills, farmland and reservoirs rather than a conventional village centre, giving it a quiet, countryside feel while remaining within reach of Tallaght and the capital. The Glenasmole Valley and nearby Bohernabreena Reservoirs provide attractive walking country, with the Dublin Mountains Way and other upland routes accessible in the wider area. Families generally look towards schools in Bohernabreena, Tallaght, Firhouse and Brittas, as there is limited schooling within Glenasmole itself. Daily shopping and most services are usually handled in Tallaght, Firhouse or nearby villages, while local social life is centred on rural pubs, community facilities and sporting organisations rather than a dense retail or restaurant scene. Road access is the main transport option, with the R115 and local roads linking towards Tallaght, Ballyboden and the M50; regular public transport is more readily available on the valley’s outskirts than in Glenasmole proper. Residents benefit from proximity to Tallaght University Hospital, The Square Tallaght and extensive leisure facilities, although commuting and errands require more planning than in built-up Dublin neighbourhoods.
