Ireland Vacation Destination: Glencullen & Johnnie Fox's Pub

There's lot's more to see in Dublin County, Ireland, than the fair city of Dublin itself. About a half hour ride south of Dublin, and another fifteen minutes up a narrow, scenic road leading to Glencullen high in the Dublin Mountains, you'll find beautiful vistas and a traditional Irish Pub like no other, Johnnie Fox's Pub, known as the highest pub in Ireland.

Glencullen is a small community situated within the Dublin Mountains, and whilst traveling through it, the city will be the farthest thing from your mind, until you turn a corner and park your car along one of the small lots, whereby which you can view the surrounding countryside and the bright lights of Dublin at night.

When traveling through Ireland on vacation, you can travel through Glencullen to reach Glendalough, another beautiful area of Ireland known for its serene lakes, ancient structures and ruins, and tranquil scenery, making it a popular attraction.

The road through Glencullen can be a bit daunting, especially in the evening, as sharp turns and narrow lanes meandering through the hills and mountains make for a treacherous route. But the roadside views are worth it, offering many a photo opportunity to add to you collection of beautiful photos of Ireland during your vacation. The mountains and surrounding countryside of Glencullen have it all; old trees waving idly in the wind, rock walls spanning hundreds of yards, rolling hills home to grazing cattle, and lush forests thick with vegetation and undergrowth.

But no vacation to Ireland can be truly complete without a visit to Johnnie Fox's Pub, situated in the center of Glencullen, and a popular hotspot for locals, tourists, and vacationing celebrities such as Bill Clinton, Brad Pitt, Colin Farrell, and many others.
