Grand Canal Walk - Dublin has two canals, the Royal Canal and the Grand Canal that were once part of an essential network of commercial arteries for linking business to Dublin's Docklands. Although the canals are no longer a means of transport for goods, they are a treasured amenity for us to enjoy and an important habitat for our native flora and fauna to thrive in. Stroll along the Grand Canal from Grand Canal Dock to Portobello Bridge and you'll be immersed in nature, spotting herons and swans along the way. The area beside the bridge is a popular hangout spot to enjoy a few takeaway beers if you've worked up a thirst. #free #dublin #walking
