Geocache Description:


The Dodder
The River Dodder is one of Dublin’s best known and most important rivers. The river rises in the Dublin Mountains and in its upper reaches it forms a reservoir system which is an integral part of the water supply to Dublin. It flows down through the suburban areas of Tallaght and Rathfarnham and through the city areas of Donnybrook and Ballsbridge before discharging into the Liffey Estuary at Ringsend. The lower section of the river is tidal up to Ballsbridge. There are a number of tributaries draining into the River Dodder with the significant ones being the Tallaght Stream, the Owendoher, the Whitechurch, the Little Dargle and the Dundrum Slang. The Dodder’s surrounding parklands are an extremely important amenity to Dublin and the river is widely used by fishermen and a variety of sporting and recreational interests over its 26 Km long course.
 
Dodder Ramble
This cache is one of a series under the banner of “Dodder Ramble”. Hopefully it will complement the many existing caches along the Dodder and attract Geocachers to take a ramble along its banks and appreciate this terrific public amenity. 
 
Cul-de-Sac
Unfortunately the Council in its wisdom closed off access to the river at this point. Would it happen in any other country that the public would be denied a continuous river walk in order to accommodate a small number of private gardens? Templeogue Bridge is the next point the river can be seen before opening into the Dodder Linear Park again.
 
Lots of parking available at Rathfarnham Shopping Centre
By public transport any bus servicing Templeogue will be close: 15, 49, 49a 65b.
