Really nice and very enjoyable, cheers ana dheas Magnificent place to while away a Sunday afternoon and looks amazing after heavy rainfall 😃 Scenic Cool walking park with some parking. Only thing they need are some picnic tables. Lovely river on a mild summer's morning. The Dodder is quite calm this morning as the weather has been kind over the last few days. I do not this area after dark though, too many undesirables about undortunately and that schools are out, there are groups of young feĺlas on electric bikes intimidating people, So the moral of the story is, if you are going for a walk, go earlier in the day.

The is nice too Love it over there Really nice Just a pity SDCC don’t cut back all the bushes They are all over the place Takes the good luck of the for sure Wonderful part of the river dodder to visit. Located in Firhouse the waterfall is a breathtaking sight to see. While walking in a housing estate located beside there you could hear the waterfall before you even get a glimpse of it. With stunning views it's a incredible place to take photographs and just go for a stroll. I would highly recommend taking a day trip to see the sights and in the park.
