Trying to figure out the actual name of a place near Dublin
(11 )
Hello, my late mother was from Dublin and her favourite place to spend time nearby was called...and here's the problem...Bona Breagha ...Bhona Breaah...I'm not sure how to spell it but I can hear her saying it in my head. It is/was a hilly country area. She used to take me there as a child to look for mushrooms and wildflowers.
Can anyone offer a clue as to the spelling or the other name ( assuming it has one). I'm thinking it is the Dublin Mountains but I can't be sure. Im writing about her life and the place name and/or spelling would be very helpful.
Thanks!
**Edit** Thank you all for the answer!

Hi. Vernon, sounds like it could be Bohernabreena, it’s in the foothills of the Dublin Mountains, close to Firhouse & Old Bawn!!
Hello,
Greetings from Ireland.
I would probably think the place is "Bohernabreena", pronounced "bow-her-nah-bree-nah"
In Irish it's called "Bother na Bruine" which translates as "The road of the hostel".
It's nice countryside and in the Dublin mountains area. Hope this puts you in the right track!
Cheers,
