The Royal Canal, which runs from the River Liffey to the River Shannon and stretches a distance of 145km, was originally built for freight and passenger transportation with the last working barges ceasing to operate in 1951.Now beautifully maintained by Irish Waterways, you are welcome to visit The Lock Keeper by canoeing, walking or cycling from Dublin City Centre.

Great food. Best staff in Dublin. Prices unbelievable in today's economy. Adults kids everyone had a ball. Every year we're making it our business to have pre Christmas dinner at the Forge. Will eat there at other times but this will be a new family tradition. Best in dublin. The real dublin 11/10.

Would definitely recommend. Food exceeded expectations; the starter, gnocchi with lovage oil was very unusual and just gorgeous, mains excellent. Service attentive throughout. Only negative was a very limited selection of wine, reds were all quite similar, but overall had a really nice experience and will definitely visit again.
