Bull Island

A natural habitat


Family Time

Address: Phone:
Causeway Road
Dublin, Leinster
+353 1 605 7700

Description

No bulls here, but there's plenty of birds and unusual flora to discover if you want to get away from the city streets for a while. Bull Island is the only UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in a capital city and is home to foxes, shrews, badgers and rabbits, as well as being an important over-wintering ground for wildfowl. Arctic migrating birds are the main tourists visiting the island, but it's well worth seeing this important and little visited treasure in the heart of the city.
