De North Side

This is a 2 to 2½ hour walk from Annesley bridge in Fairview to Ashtown. The plan is to walk upstream and keep as close as we dare to the Tolka river. Making our way around the back of Glasnevin cemetery, we will stop at Cardiffsbridge village now abandoned and consumed by urban sprawl. This is a linear walk. Ashtown train station offers options to get home and the nearby Navan Road is served by Dublin bus numbers including 37 and 39. Hope to see you there.

The DNS goes rogue as it ventures southside. On this walk I will join up four of Dublins main waterways in a looped walk of the city. Meeting at Broombridge train station, we'll join the Royal Canal towpath. From there we will make our way city bound to the river Liffey. Crossing the city through Grand Canal Dock, we will walk upstream along the banks of the river Dodder towards Miltown. There is one stop on this 11 km. walk st Ballsbridge. This walk offers many interesting and historic stops along the way. These include Croke Park and Aviva stadium, limekilns and wildlife. Our walk finishes at the Dropping Well pub car park. The pub is under refurbishment at the time of print but toilet facilities remain available. However, coffee and snacks are available outside.

This is a looped walk from Graingers Off-licence, Brackenstown Road, Swords Manor, Swords. This flat looped walk will explore the north west of Swords including its greenways, Rivervally and Castle Demense. Part of this walk is through woodland and we'll also cross Broadmeadow and Ward rivers. Free parking is available on location while bus 33 and 41 serve Swords main street. 😀 Hopefully you can join me.
