Blennerville Windmill

Blennerville is Ireland´s only commercially operated windmill. It is also the tallest of its kind in Europe: 21.3 metres high. This 18th century windmill is now open to the public. There are many fascinating workings to be seen as the giant sails turn. The adjoining building houses interesting exhibitions on emigration and The History of Milling.

Smock Alley Theatre

Smock Alley was the first Theatre Royal established in Dublin and was opened in 1662 to coincide with the Restoration of the British Monarchy. It was the first of its kind built specifically for theatrical performances and has been preserved more or less unchanged. It is therefore one of the most significant theatrical sites in Europe.
