460. Dun Laoghaire

Boats and trains were responsible for the transformation of Dun Laoghaire in the early nineteenth century from a little seaside town into a bustling centre of fashion and commerce. The great harbour built by John Rennie between 1817 and 1860 with its two massive East and West piers - 1.3km and 1.5km long respectively - became the principal terminus for mail packet services from England and Wales. It is now the arrival point for car ferries from Britain, and a major yachting centre.

This busy port town was named Kingstown after George IV visited Ireland in 1821. The town enjoyed a further boost in 1834 when the Dublin-Kingston Railway opened and soon established a reputation as a fashionable residential area. The town's old name was restored in 1922.

A series of seven guided walks makes up the Dun Laoghaire Way, stretching from Blackrock through Dun Laoghaire to Dalkey, Killiney and Loughlinstown. There are also special interest trails including a literary walk and two archaeological trails.

Alongside the railway is a footpath known as 'The Metals' which runs as far as on the route of a small funicular railway which carried stone from Dalkey quarry for the building of the harbour. From 1844 to 1854 the route was used by an Atmospheric railway which worked on a compressed air system.
