Blessington, Ireland

Ireland

Blessington, Ireland appears in 45 Bunkabop connections with 1631 other places across 16 topics, with literature leading the mix followed by transportation and government. The place draws its strongest ties to London, England and Dublin, Ireland, largely through Lady Blessington, the 19th-century literary hostess who appears across multiple connections to British and Irish writers. A steam tramway linking Blessington to Dublin ran from 1888 until 1932, and the town's history reaches back to a 1667 purchase of its lordship by the Church of Ireland Archbishop of Dublin.
