Howth Cliff Walk
The beauty of Howth's Cliff Walk is outstanding! While you take in the majestic views out onto the Irish Sea and the Dublin Bay, you will explore hidden spots and learn about the wildlife of Howth. Get to know the landmarks at the many viewing points along the way which tell you more about the history of Howth. And with some luck, you spot some seals playing in the sea.​
​
Intrigued? Pictures say more than a thousand words.
​
We will start the tour at the Northern end of the Cliff Walk and follow the trail to the south-east corner of the peninsula where we go down the cliffs to a hidden beach. Afterwards, we catch a glimpse of Dublin Bay, then we turn around and slowly return to the starting point. There will be plenty of time to relax and for having some snacks in between.
