Swords, Ireland
Airport Runway Overspill
"Where Dublin Airport Ends and Suburbia Begins"
Official Coat of Arms
A shield bearing a Boeing 737 in ascent above a half-finished apartment block, flanked by two shopping trolleys from the Pavilions car park, with the motto banner reading 'Nearly In Dublin' beneath a depiction of Swords Castle looking mildly confused by its own relevance.
TripAdvisor Review
★★★☆☆ 3/5
"Stayed near the Pavilions Shopping Centre and honestly the planes taking off from Dublin Airport were more reliable than the bus into town. Swords Castle is lovely for about twenty minutes, then you've seen it. Loads of new apartment blocks going up which is great if you enjoy the smell of fresh cement with your morning coffee. Handy for flights at least, you can hear your holiday starting from your back garden."— Barry McFadden, Coolock
Property Listing
Nestled in vibrant North County Dublin, this thriving commuter hub offers unrivalled connectivity, with the airport a mere stone's throw away for the frequent flyer lifestyle you deserve! Enjoy historic charm at Swords Castle by day and the soothing ambient hum of aircraft engines by night, all within walking distance of a truly exceptional shopping centre.
Twinned With
Hounslow — Both towns exist primarily as a holding pattern for people about to leave the country via a nearby international airport.
Supporting Evidence
Swords is one of the fastest-growing towns in Ireland largely due to its proximity to Dublin Airport, meaning many residents fall asleep to the gentle roar of long-haul flights rather than birdsong.
