As the weather is somewhat less hot than it was I decided to visit the Cabra area of Dublin so I got the tram and got off at the stop beside Mount Bernard Public Park. My intention was to spend two or three hours exploring the area but the heat proved to be too much for me so I returned home by foot.
I cannot decide if Shandon Gardens is in Cabra or Phibsborough so I did ask a few locals and I got different answers. Anyway I came across the following description in the property section of a local newspaper: Located on your doorstep are a host of local amenities including shops, schools, restaurants and bars and is within walking distance of the Luas, the Mater Hospital, the Four Courts, Kings Inns and the DIT City Centre Campus at Grangegorman. For more leisurely pursuits are Mt Bernard Park is on your doorstep, the Royal Canal Walk, the Botanic Gardens and the Phoenix Park. This property will be of interest to those looking for a home in a quiet and highly desirable location within walking distance of Dublin city centre.
