Much like any hilly area in the district, walking Mt Nasura is hard on the calves and easy on the eyes. Great views are the reward. Angorra Road has a few empty blocks that still have vestiges of the vineyard terraces of the areas past as Derry NaSura. Subdivision started in the 1950s (Derry Avenue) with a big push of further subdivision in the late 1970s.
Back when I was at uni I delivered the junk mail to this area, which was one of the routes available (surprise surprise), as was Mt Richon. No-one enjoys tackling the hilly bits with a sack of advertising papers on their back, but it had its advantages ;)
