    Just a query! For a photography project, I am looking for the above. A publicly accessible (you can walk onto it, and into it if you were mad), area of dense gorse bushes. I don't know of anywhere online where you can search for the largest one of these in Dublin so I figured local knowledge would do just nicely. Anywhere in Dublin!

    Somewhere like this, only bigger.

    Any ideas? Thanks a million.

    Had to google Roches Hill to see where it was! Always referred to there as Mullins Hill.

    on the kellystown road opposite stackstown golf course although you would have to jump over a ditch to get, why would you want to get in though? just prickly green right now, not with lovely yellow flowers...

    Shielmartin Hill on Howth Head has a fair bit of gorse growing on it. If travelling by DART, go to Sutton Station, then walk past Sutton Cross along Greenfield and Carrickbrack Roads. Just past the golf club and a farm is a path up the side of the hill.

    Here's a link to a map of the area:
