Dalkey Quarry and view over Dublin - geograph.org.uk - 273671

Taken from Dalkey quarry with view over Dun Laoghaire and Dublin bay.  Bray Head and the Wicklow Mountains can be seen to the south. Extensive quarrying of Dalkey Hill in the 19th century has resulted in the existence of Dalkey Quarry, which is now a rock-climbing location. Dalkey Hill and areas to the east and south of Dalkey Village were formerly the lands of Dalkey Common.
