The Wonder Wander for Mountjoy Square and North Great George’s Street begins at Mountjoy Square Park, once a private garden for the sixty-eight grand Georgian townhouses that line the square.\u00a0 The trail takes in all four sides, stopping off at coal hole covers, a “thunder box”, and a ward boundary marker before making its way to North Great George’s Street.\u00a0 Learn about the area’s links to King Crisps and an old Dublin treat appetisingly known as “toenail cake”!\u00a0 Finish the trail back on the square and its fine views towards Gadon’s famous Custom House.<\/p>\n
