Griffith Avenue

tall trees line this manicured avenue and make it a very desirable place in North Dublin to live! A long road to drive and when im stuck at traffic lights i wonder what it would be like to live in some of the bigger mansion type houses.

The longest tree-​lined avenue in Europe, it stretches from Drumcondra to Marino, and is a retail free zone. Nary a Spar or a Centra graces its leafy edges, so if you are looking for a bottle of water on your run, jog on. It is a top spot for kids looking for conkers — many of the trees are horse chestnuts — and it is particularly nice during autumn, with foliage to rival that of Long Island.
In the winter, however, it can really feel like the longest tree-​lined avenue in Europe — no busses navigate its whole length, which is something of a pain if you live in the middle.

This is a beautiful tree lined avenue that is always scattered with walkers and runners. I love the archway that the trees create over the road. It is beautiful whatever the season but particularly so in Autumn when the deciduous leaves scatter the path with their various colours.
It is named after the historical figure Arthur Griffith. He was the founder of the Sinn Féin party and he also led the party at one point. He also was president of Dail Eireann (the Irish parliament). When Ireland was negotiating with Britain over the Anglo-​Irish Treaty he the leader of the Irish contingent.
