Dodder River

When Churchtown and Rathgar residents are seeking a lunchtime stroll or a post-work head-clearing session, they follow the route along their local river, passing small waterfalls and thick trees. Expect to see the same faces here daily, politely nodding at one another as they pass by. In the summer, the sights get more interesting, with groups of friends gathering on the green with their bikes, teenagers kicking a football around and fishermen knee-deep in the river.
