AN ILLUSTRATED HISTORY.

This highly illustrated book offers a comprehensive account of Clontarf, one of Dublin’s most historic suburbs. Best known to some for its connection to the Battle of Clontarf in 1014, the area has evolved into a vibrant residential community with a rich cultural and social heritage. From the scenic landscapes of St Anne’s Park and Bull Island to the historic Clontarf Castle, this text explores the places and stories that have shaped the area over centuries.

Clontarf’s sporting legacy, including its golf courses and numerous clubs, is highlighted alongside its schools, churches, and thriving local businesses. The iconic wooden bridge, Dollymount Beach, and Clontarf promenade continue to attract visitors and residents alike. With a blend of historical insight and contemporary life, Clontarf: An Illustrated History is an essential resource for locals, historians, and those interested in Dublin’s past and present.
