    Suggested Walks DUBLIN the Great South Wall Walk You Could Literally

    Suggested walks DUBLIN The Great South Wall Walk You could literally not be any more smack-bang in the middle of Dublin Bay if you tried – the path along the South Wall is pretty wide, like a promenade. It's a 4km walk, and takes between 30 - 40 minutes depending on your pace! Ticknock Fairy Castle Loop This is a lovely looped walk with never-ending views of Dublin when you reach the top. Walking time: Roughly 1 hour and 45 minutes. The Killiney Hill Walk There are two different routes to the top that you can take: if you’re after a short walk, drive up as far as the car park on Killiney Hill. If you fancy a longer ramble, take the DART to Dalkey and then walk up to the summit of the hill from there. Walking time: Between 20 and 50 minutes, depending on where you start the walk. The Hellfire Club Walk The Hellfire Club Walk (officially known as the ‘Montpellier Loop Trail’) is a lovely Dublin walk that will treat you to a spectacular panoramic view of Dublin City. Walking time: Roughly 1 hour + (depending on how much time you spend at the top) The Howth Cliff Walk There are a couple of different ways of tackling this walk: you can start it from the DART station for a longer stroll or you can kick it off from the car park at Howth Summit. You will be treated to incredible coastal views throughout. Walking time is 120 minutes on a fine day. Allow for longer if you’re battling the wind in winter! The Malahide to Portmarnock Coastal Walk This is one of the many Dublin walks that are perfect for those of you looking for a moderate ramble with friends on level ground that offers great ocean views throughout.

Introduction 1.1 Project background Triturus Environmental Ltd. consultants were appointed by the Biodiversity Officer (Parks & Landscape Services) of Dublin City Council to undertake a Eurasian otter (Lutra lutra) survey, hereafter otter, of the fourteen major riverine watercourses within their jurisdiction. These watercourses included (listed from north to south) the River Mayne, Santry River, Naniken River, River Tolka, River Liffey, River Camac, River Poddle, River Dodder, Owendoher River, Whitechurch Stream, Little Dargle River, Wyckham Stream, Slang River and Elm Park Stream covering 83.8km. Additionally, the approximate 44.7km of coastal boundary of Dublin City Council was also surveyed. The M50 road network served as a working boundary and no reaches of any watercourses upstream of the motorway were surveyed. The baseline otter surveys, conducted over 2018 and 2019, helped to identify the presence of otters within Dublin City boundaries by identifying the occurrence of otter field signs (i.e. holts, spraints, couches, prints & other signs – see Methodology section below).
