Blood & Cobblestones: True Crime in the Liberties Walking Tour
About this Event
This isn't a ghost tour, a pub crawl, or yet another Bram Stoker tour. This is real true crime - honest history, told on the streets where it happened.
About the tour
The Liberties has always existed on its own terms - a world outside the city walls, ungoverned and untamed, where some of Dublin's most dramatic history played out in the streets. Led by a local-resident guide, this tour traces centuries of crime, conflict, and social history through powerful storytelling and the actual locations.
We cover serial killers, merchant gang warfare, tales from a notorious 18th-century Pr*son, dramatic public executions, bodysnatchers, 'animal gangs', maverick policemen, and the shadow of modern organised crime - all in the context of a community that lived through it and endured.
This is a pay what you like tour. Typically contributions range between €15-50 per person. Digital payments accepted.
On the tour we'll cover the following areas:
- Christchurch Cathedral (outside)
- Cook Street
- St Audeon's Park
- Thomas Street
- Saint Catherine's Church Graveyard
- Meath Street
- Francis Street
The tour route is approx 1.6 km in total. It's a leisurely stroll with small inclines. Please wear comfortable footwear and pack a rain jacket (just in case, it's Dublin!)
