No Rush.

One of the most amazing things about living in Dublin, is the extraordinary number of tranquil hideaways within a stones throw of the city centre – Dollymount Strand on the north city’s Bull Island is one such place. The island gradually appeared in the years following the construction of Dublin Port’s North Wall, which caused a change to the tidal flow creating this massive sand bank. Bull Island has the most designations of any site in the country, as a National Bird Sanctuary, a biosphere reserve, a National Nature Reserve, a Special Protection Area under the EU Birds Directive and a Special Area of Conservation under the EU Habitats Directive!
