From a Neolithic passage tomb and an Anglo-Norman tower house to Napoleonic Martello towers and the lone portico of a vanished Georgian mansion, Rush packs an unusual depth of history into a small Fingal fishing village. Follow the coast from the smugglers' harbour north past Kenure Park to the Iron Age headland at Drumanagh, and inland to the ruined chapel at Whitestown. Looking for things to do in Rush? Start here — no car, no ticket, no booking.
