The Story of Co. Dublin
Founded by Vikings on a black pool, Dubh Linn, at the ford of hurdles, Dublin (Baile Átha Cliath) grew from a Norse trading port into Ireland’s capital. It was outside its walls, at Clontarf in 1014, that Brian Boru broke the power of the Norse; a thousand years of history still layer the streets between the medieval castle and the sea.
