A TOURISM trail which will stretch from the gates of Trinity College to Kilmainham Jail and has been called the “golden mile” is being developed by Fáilte Ireland.
The trail will take in some of Dublin’s best known landmarks, including Dublin Castle, Christchurch Cathedral and the Guinness Storehouse creating an east-west trail which it is hoped will be a major attraction for visitors to the capital.
The trail is being developed in conjunction with Dublin City Council, the Office of Public Works and the Dublin Civic Trust and plans are due to go to the Fáilte Ireland board for approval imminently.
It is envisaged that the trail will employ full-time guides and amateur performers depicting historical scenes from events such as the hanging of Robert Emmet in Thomas Street, the site of which is another landmark on the proposed trail. – The Irish Times

Come Here To Me! 
This idea of an east-west trail/access through the Liberties was one of the central planks in the regeneration plan which is now presumably on ice.
It is good to see bits of it being implemented at least.
Part of the plan was to effectively hijack Storehouse visitors, bring them through the Liberties and milk off a bit of value added for the area.
