There's website called map my ride, it has a feature to sort the routes by distance. Might throw up some suggestions.

Haven't walked through Dublin in eight years. But I still walk loads, esp now I'm injured.

Dundrum village up to Three Rock hill? Fabulous views of the city from up there and a great place for a picnic!

Here's the Sli Na Slainte network in Dublin:

If you want some walks with some info thrown in, there are a couple of interesting one's coming up with Pat Liddy courtsey of DCC

You could go a bit further on the Dart and do Howth Head or Dalkey/Killiney or the Bray/Greystones coast route...

OP I'm guessing your on the northside?.

Have you tried Malahide Castle?.. There's a 2.5 mile walk around the parimeter, locals call it 'The Ladies Walk', its really nice and worth a look.

If you want, there's also Father Collins Park, apart from the walking circuit (1.5km I think) there's also various workout stations (with instructions) at various intervals.

Then there is the spectacular Portmarnock beach and the pathway to Malahide marina - IMO this one is truely spectacular.
