Geocache Description:

Visitors to Dublin arriving at the city's main railway station, Hueston Station, and intent on walking to the city centre, could do worse than making a short detour up Arbour Hill and on to Stoneybatter. You will quickly appreciate the soul of Dublin and the history of modern Ireland.

The dominant feature on the hilltop is Arbour Hill Prison and the adjacent church and cemetary. In this cemetary lies the remains of the leaders of the 1916 Rising, beneath a sculptured version of the Proclamation of the Irish Republic.


The prison was constructed in 1848 to accommodate around 150 military prisoners. It became a civilian prison in 1975, and it now the State's main detention centre for sex offenders.


The National Museum of Ireland is located directly opposite, in the former Collins Army Barracks.


The prison name plague is your destination, and the cache is a nano placed directly in front.
