Dodder Park is a suburban linear park in Dublin, Ireland, consisting of over 100 hectares of fragmented parkland and remnant countryside. [1]
The park is located in Rathfarnham, Rathgar and Milltown. It is named after the River Dodder, which flows through it.
There is angling on the River Dodder for members of the Dodder Angling Association. Anglers come to Ireland every year to fish the river. It is also a haven for wildlife: among the species to be seen are kingfisher, dipper, grey heron, sparrowhawk, and fox.
Dublin Bay is a C-shaped inlet of the Irish Sea on the east coast of Ireland. The bay is about 10 kilometres wide along its north–south base, and 7 km in length to its apex at the centre of the city of Dublin; stretching from Howth Head in the north to Dalkey Point in the south. North Bull Island is situated in the northwest part of the bay, where one of two major inshore sand banks lay, and features a 5 km long sandy beach, Dollymount Strand, fronting an internationally recognised wildfowl reserve. Many of the rivers of Dublin reach the Irish Sea at Dublin Bay: the River Liffey, with the River Dodder flow received less than 1 km inland, River Tolka, and various smaller rivers and streams.
