Follow the R756 towards Hollywood and prepare to be not really starstruck. The village is fairly unremarkable, but don't hit the droves of tourists posing wih the village sign. Go on, take your own snap here (if you can park safely). Then at the crossroads take the N81 towards Blessington.
You’ll pass Pollaphuca Dam and soon see the sprawling Pollaphuca Reservoir on your right. Leave it be for the oment. Soon you'll glimpse Russborough House on the left, the entrance is signposted.
Now drive on to Blessington - the small town provides a good opportunity for refreshments.
