Greenhills Places to Visit

The suburb Greenhills - or, as it can be referred to in Irish, Na Glaschnoic - in Dublin is located between the areas of Kimmage, Tallaght, Terenure, Walkinstown and Templeogue.

Though the suburb does not have officially defined boundaries, its core is generally considered to be the Greenhills Estate, which comprises of "saints" roads including St. Josephs's Road and St. Peter's Road.

Greenpark, Limekiln and Temple Manor are also often considered parts of Greenhill, while an occasionally-suggested broader definition of the suburb takes in the Fernhill, Glenmurray and Mountdown estates. However, even the strictest definition of the suburb offers plenty to enjoy.
