WINDY ARBOUR VILLAGE AND NEARBY [17 DECEMBER 2022]-212241

            I visit Roebuck Road twice a week and I return home by getting the 17 bus to the Luas Tram stop in Dundrum but to day I decided to walk to Dundrum via Bird Avenue but I noticed a signpost pointing to the Windy Arbour Luas Tram Stop so I decided to explore the Windy Arbour area.

I must admit that I almost got lost as I ended up in a  maze of back lanes and when I asked someone how to get to the Luas Tram Stop he suggested  that walking was the best way.

Windy Arbour is a small suburban village in the Dundrum area of Dublin, Ireland. Situated between Dundrum and Milltown, along the banks of the Slang River (also Dundrum or Slann River).

The name of the area was originally Irish Na Glasáin, "the green land"; this was Anglicised as 'Glassons'. The name Windy Harbour or Sandy Arbour was later applied, referring to a landing-point on the River Slang. A starch mill was formerly located there. "Arbour" once had the meaning “grass plot, lawn, garden”; it is possible that the name was intended as a direct translation of glasáin.

Perhaps the most famous person to live in Windy Arbour was Irish patriot Robert Emmet, who grew up in The Casino, a manor house that is now known as Emmet House, where the Secretariat of Secondary schools in Ireland is currently housed. It is located next to the Catholic church on Bird Avenue and was formerly known as Carton House.

The Central Mental Hospital is located beside the village and was built c.1850. The hospital provides treatment in high, low, and medium-security conditions. Patients are referred by the courts, the prisons and local hospitals for both assessment and residential treatment.

Windy Arbour has a number of shops, a supermarket, post office, pharmacy and a bakery. It is also home to several takeaways and restaurants. There is a primary school in Columbanus Estate known as Our Lady's National School, Clonskeagh. The area is served by Windy Arbour Luas stop and by the number 17, 44 and 61 bus routes.
