Swift Wood

A village with roots stretching back to a seventh-century monastery, Saggart sits at the foot of the Dublin Mountains where suburban expansion meets genuine hill countryside. The medieval church ruin and holy well recall the area's monastic past, while the Luas Red Line extension has brought a new generation of commuters to the village and its surroundings. The contrast between the ancient village core and the newer residential estates gives Saggart a distinctive layered character.
