443. Dublin 15
Follow the riverside road to Blanchardstown and on to Mulhuddart. Turn right up church Road to visit Lady's Well, an ancient shrine with a ruined fourteenth-century church nearby. The graveyard just beyond it has an impressive collection of elaborately inscribed eighteenth-century tombstones.
Return across the river and follow Blakestown Road to the south. At the bottom turn right towards Clonsilla on the Royal Canal. the spectacular three-kilometre cutting through the limestone hill provided the waterway with one of its more hazardous stretches, so narrow that traffic could only go in one direction at a time. In November 1845 sixteen passengers were drowned here when their boat struck a rock.
For a scenic route to Dublin you can head south to the Liffey and follow the Lucan Road along the north bank of the river.
