Is St Audoen's Church & Medieval Walls worth it with kids?

SkipWith kids

With kids, give St Audoen's Church & Medieval Walls a miss.

A genuinely old, atmospheric, free medieval church and the city's last medieval gateway, tucked away in the Liberties and almost crowd-free. The honest catch: it's small, partly ruined and easy to walk past, with limited OPW opening hours — a quiet detour for people who like hidden history, not a headline sight.
