Wonderful combination of a large village with a number of restaurant/cafes with big outside terraces, and just a bit down the road there's a lake with lots of things to do, plenty of parking, and a...
Short walk - but the big attraction here is the viewing rock. Apparently you can see lots of South Dublin and Wicklow, providing it's not raining which does limit the possibilities!
This is a particularly useful stop for campervans, as there's a large field for campervans and campers right next to a lake (summer only).
Great dog walks in France off the D25 Fabulous place for a walk, and lots to see in this unique maritime forest and environs. Just gorgeous. A climb up the lighthouse is great for kids (but no dogs).
Doggylicious trail in a big loop starting from Clonaslee. Pick a sunny day and this is fantastic.
Huge forest park with lakes, well-marked out forest trails and a beach. Doggy heaven! Also plenty of history, with ancient forts and tombs.
Very large forest in what was once the Powerscourt Estate. Now it's managed by Coillte and everyone can enjoy the walks and views here.
Lots of tradition connected with the Marian Cross on this walk, and it's said to be a very popular walk during the Christmas season - maybe a bit of Santa spotting from the top?

A National Trust run estate and nature reserve that's well worth a visit, although dogs have to be on leads in all parts of the 2,000 acre grounds.
