Foxdene Drive

Set where the Liffey narrows through a wooded valley, Lucan's village centre preserves a sense of place that predates its dramatic suburban expansion. The eighteenth-century spa that drew Georgian visitors, the Italianate architecture of the Lucan Demesne, and the riverside walks along the Liffey give the village an identity distinct from the estates that surround it. A genuine community hub for west Dublin, where the river remains the defining feature.
