Description of the home we are offering for exchange
Our home has 3 bedrooms and a large garden with swings, a trampoline, some chickens (fresh eggs every morning!) and plenty of space. We live on the edge of the medieval village of Lusk. Lusk is about 8km from Dublin airport, 15km north of Dublin city, and right beside many beaches, forest parks, golf courses, estates and playgrounds. It's a great location for visiting Dublin and a convenient base for travelling around Ireland.
We're on the train line to Dublin city centre (25 mins) & Belfast/Northern Ireland. We're close to beaches, parks, country estates and golf courses. Just off the M1 motorway, you can reach many historical sights of interest in the county and city of Dublin, Meath and Louth inside an hour.
If you enjoy golf we have a set of clubs. There are about 10 golf clubs within a 5 - 15 minute drive - all take green fees. Lusk is a popular place to cycle and the surrounding country roads are popular with runners.

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
Lusk has a small selection of supermarkets and restaurants, which have everything you need for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Within a 10 minute drive there are lots of cafes and restaurants. It is easy to take in a beach walk, a visit to a playground and a cafe all within a few minutes of our home. We are very lucky to have many stately homes within a few minutes drive, which are open to the public and have peaceful forest walks, well maintained playgrounds, picnic tables and cafes. Further afield, within 30-45 minutes drive you can visit lots of historical attractions such as Newgrange, Glendalough and Sliabh Gullion Forest Park.
