Fingal is a highly attractive place to live, work, visit and do business. It comprises a geographical area of 450 sq.km stretching from Balbriggan in the north, to Blanchardstown in the west and to Howth in the east. The area is defined by the diversity of its landscape and settlement patterns with rural, urban and suburban locations all rolled into one county. There is 88km of coastline, three large protected estuaries and salt marsh habitats and 13 major beaches.

Fingal has a rich cultural heritage and has developed some of the major assets of the county as visitor attractions including Ardgillan Castle, Newbridge House, Malahide Castle & Gardens and Skerries Mills. Fingal County Council has provided significant support in the past in establishing the Draíocht Arts Centre in Blanchardstown and the Seamus Ennis Cultural Centre in Naul and has further major plans for the development of heritage, arts and culture within the county. Community participation through residents associations, tidy towns groups and community groups are all an invaluable part of the development of sustainable communities within Fingal.
