I had an epic walk around the city centre today, found a bunch of places I’d never seen before ( like Henrietta Place and Kings Inns? Wow. ) and made a major dent in my need to get a Dublin City fix after being stuck in the country for over a month.
I’m going to post some pictures shortly but the list of streets and points of interest I passed along the way is worth posting I think:
- Conyngham Road
- Parkgate St.
- Temple St. West
- Benburb St.
- Smithfield
- King St. North
- Bolton St.
- Henrietta St. and into King’s Inns and King’s Inns Park ( Awesome )

- Cavendish Row
- Rutland Place
- Gardiner Square North
- Parnell Square North and Hugh Lane Gallery
- Parnell Square East
- Cavendish Row
- Parnell St.
- Gardiner St.
- Sean MacDermot St. Lower
- Buckingham St. Lower
- Amiens St.
- Harbourmaster Place
- George’s Dock
- JP Morgan House
- Mayor St. Lower
- Custom House Square
- Spencer Dock - Anglo Building
- New Wapping St.
- North Wall Quays

- East Link Bridge
- York Road
- Thorncastle St. – Irishtown
- Bridge St. – Ringsend
- Ringsend Road
- Pearse St

Now that was a good walk, just shy of 14km. I passed over the bridge in Ringsend just as Ireland and Italy were lining out on the pitch in Lansdowne Road, got to see the fire jets and fireworks going off. Hadn’t realised how load those things are, I was at least 2km away and they were _loud_.
Great day to be in the city.
Tomorrow I’m going to start at the same point more or less be head south of the river first, got some street art to find.
