    This walk will take you past a historic house on the corner of Northumberland Street and Haddington Road (see plaque), The School House hotel, over the Grand Canal, past the National Maternity Hospital and to Merrion Square Park which houses a statue to Oscar Wilde. You will also pass the National Art Gallery and the House of Parliament. At the top of Merrion Street turn right and you will be at the famous Shelbourne Hotel and St. Stephen's Green Park. Return via the lovely Georgian Leeson Street. Cross the bridge on the canal and turn left. After this section of the canal follow Haddington Road. You will pass Saint Mary's Church. Further down Haddington Road you will see Beggars Bush. This is houses our Labour Court and our National Print Museum which is well worth a visit. On exiting Beggars Bush turn right which will lead you to Shelbourne Road and back to where you started.

    About the Calorie Calculator

    Our Calorie Calculator estimates how many Calories you will burn using Metabolic Equivalent (MET) values from Compendium of Physical Activities. The Compendium idenitifes the relative energy cost of undertaking various activities compared with doing nothing. We then combine this with your weight and the estimated duration of the activity, taking into account the length of the route and the hills involved, to estimate the total Calories burned.

    When selecting an Activity setting, select the speed you would normally travel at on flat ground.

    Please remember, the estimated number of Calories is just a guide and the actual number of Calories burned may vary depending on other factors such as weather and terrain.
