Loughshinny, Co Dublin
Loughshinny is a fascinating spot in north Co Dublin with a millennia of curiosities to entice an enquiring visitor...
...hidden caves and dramatic Carboniferous rock folds can be seen in the nearby cliffs; while on the headland across the beach are the remains of an Iron Age fort. Some artefacts have been found there suggesting the Romans had a notion to invade Dublin - so a Martello Tower was later built there in case Napoleon had the same idea!
