A QUICK VISIT TO BOOTERSTOWN
A QUICK VISIT TO BOOTERSTOWN [FIRST DAY OF JANUARY 2025]
I needed to get to Dalkey on New Years Day to celebrate my 75th Birthday but as DART train service was suspended between Connolly and Grand Canal Dock my solution was to get a No 4 Bus from Broadstone to Booterstown Train station and then travel on to Dalkey by DART. That plan was a success as the journey took less than hour which surprised me.
The area surrounding the Booterstown DART station is characterised by its natural features. It boasts a nature park, mudflats, and a linear park that stretches all the way to Blackrock.
The Booterstown Nature Reserve is an important ecological site, providing crucial habitat for a diverse range of bird species. While the strong odours emanating from the marsh, especially in summer, may not appeal to everyone, it's essential to recognise the reserve's ecological significance. It serves as a vital stopover point for migrating birds and supports a unique ecosystem.
Note: The BusConnects Phase 6a changes, including the alterations to the No. 4 bus route, have been delayed from their original planned implementation in December 2024 to January 2025. Passengers who rely on the No. 4 and other affected routes will need to be aware of the delayed implementation.
