The River Dodder is a really lovely walk starting in Ringsend, where the river meets the Liffey, and passing by the Aviva Stadium, Ballsbridge, a loop of Herbert Park, Donnybrook, Milltown and Dodder Valley Park/Bushy Park to Templeogue Village with a variety of wildlife to be seen along the way as well as several lovely weirs/waterfalls

Bridge. Refreshments in The Morgue, Templeogue Village at the end of the walk for those who want to relax after it. Plenty of buses from there back into town (Eden Quay – beside Liberty Hall). Handy then to Tara St. for train back to Skerries.

Please text Leader John Coleman by Tues. 9th July if you intend going on the walk and indicating whether meeting up in Skerries or Insomnia for it. Hopefully we get a good turnout being such a convenient one.
