The walks, not the walkers.

Photographs from recent tours, all shared with the permission of the people pictured. We never photograph minors, never photograph adult faces without explicit consent, and never use stock imagery on this site.

Most of these are from 2024 and early 2025. The light in Dublin is unreliable, our guides are not photographers, and our walkers are not models — that's the point.

Kilmainham & the Liberties

Outside the gaol, along the river, up through Thomas Street and the parish of St Patrick's.

A walking group of eight stands on the cobbled forecourt of Kilmainham Gaol, listening to a guide.

The Rebel Mile

O'Connell Street, the GPO, the Garden of Remembrance, the Four Courts and the Custom House.

A guide gestures toward the columns of the GPO; a small group reads the pediment.
