BOOTERSTOWN MARSH
Booterstown Marsh and Nature Reserve is a unique and important habitat with an interesting history. The marsh's origins are directly linked to the construction of the Dublin and Kingstown Railway in the 1830s. This railway, one of the first commuter lines in the world, was built on an embankment across the then-existing Merrion Strand. This construction effectively created a tidal lagoon, which over time evolved into the saltmarsh we see today.
