Westmoreland Street

Westmoreland Street

Westmoreland Street (Irish "Sráid Westmorland") is an important street in the southern city-centre of Dublin, the capital of Ireland. It is one of the two broad avenues - along with D'Olier Street - that converge at their northern ends at O'Connell Bridge over the River Liffey. Westmoreland Street links the bridge to Trinity College at College Green at its southern end, from where traffic diverges between Grafton Street to the south and Dame Street to the west.

Westmoreland Street also constitutes the eastern border of Temple Bar.
