The village of Blackrock gets its name from the black rock that lies offshore and once marked the city limits. It is a typical village offering golf facilities, sailing clubs, chic shops and cafés as well as traditional Irish pubs. It has two big shopping centres and the UCD Smurfit School of Business is very close to us. Locally we have many lovely parks and a wide selection of top class Restaurants and Bars within walking distance.
