Geocache Description:


Blessington Lake Heritage Trial can be done by car or bicycle - its about 20km long loop from Blessington with around 400m of ascent.

 

Blessington Lake Heritage Trial - The View Point

 

The construction of the Poulaphouca Dam in 1937, to help deal with the water shortages in Dublin, resulted in the village of Ballinahown, 80 homesteads, 300 farms and over 5,500 acres of land being submerged by water. The land was generally arable, good quality land, where families and for communities had lived generations.

The road leading to the lake was originally going across the Kings River, with low tide you can see both ends of it, going into the lake and coming out on the other side.
