Introducing Blessington
There’s little to see in Blessington; it’s basically made up of a long row of pubs, shops and 17th- and 18th-century town houses. It’s the main town in the area, and as such makes a decent exploring base. Just outside Blessington is the Poulaphouca Reservoir, created in 1940 to drive the turbines of the local power station to the east of town and to supply Dublin with water.
