The summer looks to be finally here and Dubliners will be venturing outdoors more frequently to enjoy the improving weather . One of the most refreshing ways to unwind after a hectic work week is by taking a leisurely stroll through one of the city's many scenic routes, whether that's amidst lush woodlands, expansive fields or meticulously maintained shrubbery. While St Stephen's Green and Phoenix Park are popular choices for a walk, we thought it would be interesting to explore some of Dublin's lesser-known but equally captivating walking trails that you might not have discovered yet.

With routes varying from 6km to 18km, Ticknock Hill offers one of the finest forest trails in Dublin . It's sufficiently distanced from the city centre to give you a countryside feel, yet close enough to remind you that home isn't too far away.
Situated in Blanchardstown and spanning 200 acres of woodland and grassland with the Liffey meandering through its heart, St Catherine's is a splendid park that deserves a spot on your list. The park boasts ample parking, walking trails and even canoeing facilities. One of the most comprehensive walks that traverses several parts of Dublin, the Dodder Walk starts from Bushy Park and extends to Milltown.
