The Best Walks in Dublin

Taking a long walk isn’t just a great workout for your body and heart, it’s also an ideal way to refocus your mind, practice mindfulness and help to relieve stress by giving you a single aim – to get where you’re going. It’s also a handy way to catch up on the latest podcast or audio-book. We’re spoiled here in DCU Rooms, not just for our value accommodation, but the number of beautiful walks a short distance away
