About

The area of central Dublin just North of the river, bounded by Church St to the west and and Capel St to the East, is chock-full of History. The location of two ancient, now largely-vanished monasteries (the Dominican Priory of St Saviors and the once all-powerful Cistercian Abbey of St Mary) a plethora of old markets, at least 4 former historic Prisons, several churches, some fantastic architecture and archeology; and the setting for some extraordinary religious, penal, political and social history, this area is among the most exciting places in Dublin to explore on foot.

We’ll get in contact with you as soon as possible to arrange a meet up point.
