The R117 road is a regional road in Ireland. The route (north-south) starts Harcourt Road at the end of the South Circular Road on the southside of Dublin city centre. It crosses the Grand Canal and goes through the suburbs of Ranelagh, Milltown, Windy Arbour, Dundrum, Sandyford, Stepaside and Kilternan (where it crosses the R116) before passing through the Scalp into County Wicklow.
In Wicklow it goes through Enniskerry where it veers east to the N11 at Fassaroe just west of Bray, this part of the road is colloquially known as "The 21 Bends".
