Take a stroll through one of Ireland's most unique and picturesque housing developments streets , St. James Wood. Here you'll find a collection of charming, modern thatched cottages that look as if they've been plucked from a fairytale. Once known as the country's prettiest "ghost estate," this resurrected community is a truly surprising sight, tucked away in the lovely village of Stradbally. It's a perfect short walk to admire the unique architecture before you head down to the beautiful Stradbally Cove, just a 15-minute walk away.
