ON THE BULL WALL<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n


\n\n\n\n

I visited the Bull Wall with the intention of photographing the large Star Of The Sea Statue but the images were corrupted so I will need to return at a later date. While I was there I photographed the well known shelters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Bull Wall is a long, narrow spit of land that separates Dublin Bay from the River Liffey. It is located in Clontarf, County Dublin, Ireland. The Bull Wall is a popular spot for swimming, and there are two main bathing shelters located on the wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bathing shelters were designed by Herbert Simms in 1934. They are simple, elegant structures made of concrete. The shelters are painted a pale golden yellow, which contrasts with the blue of the sea. The shelters provide a place for swimmers to change and to get out of the water. They also offer some protection from the wind and the sun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The swimming shelters are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. They are free to use. The water quality at the Bull Wall is generally good, but it is always best to check the website of Dublin City Council before swimming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
