    I so love this promenade. Walking or running along here on a sunny day is one of those experiences…read morethat truly reminds you of the joy of life's simple pleasures. It's completely free and you can't help but feel better about the world afterwards. This is a fantastic running spot-it's flat, scenic, safe....and even more importantly-you get to run on grass. Pavement running can be tough on sensitive souls like me and it can be a struggle to find nice shock absorbing grass without ending up in a field full of cows and their excrement. Generations (probably) of runners have worn a little path into the grass all along the promenade so that it's both easy to run on and free of ankle-twisting potential. Just walking along is one of my favourite pastimes too. On a sunny weekend the place is buzzing with families, buggies, couples, walkers, runners, men with flags, picnickers....but doesn't seem crowded. The excellent cycle lane which extends to Howth means that there is no danger of being mown down. Benches and shelters along the route make it easy to stop and soak up the view. I love the weird yellow and orange exercise things. I plan on making use of them some day....when nobody is around to see! A stroll out to Bull Island is invigorating and it's very difficult to believe that you're still in Dublin out there. The only problem is having to come back over the bridge and back to reality :-(

    Who would have thought that just half an hour's walk north of Dublin's city centre you could find a…read moretranquil and picturesque park overlooking sailing boats and the Dublin harbour? Definitely not I, when I moved to Dublin. My first experiences of this fascinating city were of drug pushers and the homeless in Marlborough St and the surrounding delightful nooks and crannies of D1. It was a while before I even ventured south of the Temple Bar region. Yes indeedy, my initial experience of Dublin was most certainly not a balanced one. However, when I finally found a place to call home just north of the city I came across the serenity and the class of Clontarf Promenade. I confess I was astounded. This does not even LOOK like Ireland! Where are the bargain basement shops and the jostling elbows and the 101 fast food outlets? The Prom, as I affectionately refer to it, has been the site for many a sun-soaked picnic or morning jog. It is an expansive, wonderfully green (shut up, I'm Australian - we get excited about grass and stuff), and family friendly place to spend a morning, afternoon or Summer evening. It's a favourite route of many of the area's joggers and cyclists - walking and cycling tracks take you all the way from Fairview through to Bull Bridge (where you can continue along the wooden bridge to Bull Island if you still have the energy). I'm especially fond of the bright yellow exercise machines placed along the running track. As someone with an inexplicable phobia of gyms I convince myself that a jog along the prom and a short turn on the outdoor exercise bike and weightlifting apparatus will suffice for all my exercise needs (and I think I'm justified here). Clontarf Promenade is a wonderfully peaceful place to chill out in, I definitely recommend trying it (on a sunny day!) The 130 bus from Abbey St serves this area, and Clontarf Dart station is a stone's throw away.
