User:Autarch/The Metals

The Metals is a footpath from Dún Laoghaire to Dalkey beside the railway. The path was origally used for a truck railway which was used to transport granite from Dalkey Quarry to Dún Laoghaire to build the harbour. Over 600,000 tonnes of granite were brought to the harbour works by this route. It is part of the Slí na Sláinte project.
