This Adventure trail will take you around the grounds of Dublin Castle, Dubh Linn Gardens & into City Hall to discover some of Ireland's history & architecture.

Dublin Castle: On this site kings and queens held court, Irish Presidents have been sworn in and old orders have been swept away through rebellion and revolution. Dublin Castle Courtyard is the highest point in Dublin’s center, so was the most strategic point for controlling the territory. There is evidence of a ring fort here as early as the 6th century, a Viking fortress (930), then a stone castle built by King John of England (1204). The Castle served as the seat of British rule in Ireland, from 1204 until officially handed over to Michael Collins, Irish Govt, for the people of Ireland in January 1922.

City Hall: Built as the Royal Exchange, between 1769 and 1779 to the designs of architect Thomas Cooley and is a notable example of 18th-century architecture.

Dubh Linn Gardens: an oasis in the city & where Dublin got her name.
