What do you know about Dundrum? There is a shoppoing centre, the luas goes there,it has a great cinema....but did you know it has a castle?
OOOOooohhh now there is a nice little fact about the place for ya! the first castle was built in 1169 as part of an outer ring around dublin city and then the proper castle arrived in 1590, I cant even imagine back that far!
Where is it you ask? well you know the bridge over the Dundrum by pass? well going across the bridge heading towards Ballinteer you will see some apartments with cedar wood sides on your right and just behind them is where the castle is, since those apartments were built you have not been able to get into the ruins of the castle but you can see it through a big fence.
I think its important that people realise Dundrum is not some new area cause there is a shopping centre there now, its been around longer than any of us can imagine! wonder could any of those people back in 1169 could imagine what would be in Dundrum in the futuristic 2009! read more
