Bohernabreena to Britain Quay along the Dodder

 

The stretch of the River Dodder along Fitzwilliam Quay just before it flows into the Liffey at Britain Quay as the sun set over Dublin yesterday.

It's an interesting place. It's where the Dodder and the Grand Canal come right beside one another.

It's a wonderful walk from Bohernabreena near Tallaght all along the Dodder as far as the Liffey.

Most of the walk is off road. It's a mix of rural and urban walking. It has to be one of the most eclectic walks in Dublin.

Currently two bridges are being built across the Dodder between Templeogue and Tallaght.

Because of the construction part of the walk is closed off. The first the walker discovers about the closure means that one has to reverse one's walking steps. It's a pity there is not far earlier notice advising people about the diversion.

But the new bridges will be a great addition.
