Owendoher River

Bushy Park is only 5 min from the sister’s place. It’s a fine big park with ponds, soccer, Gaelic and rugby fields along with tennis courts.
The Dodder river flows along the south side of the park. When walking alongside the river, it is very noticeable how darkly colored, yet clear, the water is. (See photos) This brown color is derived from organic carbon that is picked up as it flows down from the Dublin mountains.
The Dodder then flows into the Liffey river, and Saint James’s Gate is located along the banks of the Liffey. Saint James’s Gate gets all its water from the Liffey. And guess what is made there. GUINNESS. So now we know where it gets its color. Haha.
For the fishermen among us, the Dodder is known for its sea trout run and should be fished in the late evening. CheersRead more
