Howth Peninsula Hiking Tour

At the appointed time, we'll meet at the Spire monument. We'll make our way to the train station and leave Dublin city centre, heading for the small fishing village of Howth. The journey will take approximately 30 minutes.

Howth is situated on a peninsula at the northern end of Dublin Bay. The village is popular with both locals and tourists wishing to enjoy the Irish countryside.

We'll set out on a walking tour of the Howth Peninsula. During the walk, we'll enjoy views of the Irish Sea and, if the day is clear, we may see the Mourne Mountains in the neighbouring country.

We'll stroll along the Howth fishing pier and explore the extensive grounds of the castle, which also hosts a golf course. Along the route, we will see beech and azalea trees and a megalithic tomb or dolmen that is over 3000 years old.

The walk will take you along the high cliffs of the peninsula and upwards to Ben of Howth, the highest point in the village, providing many photo opportunities.

After the walk, we will visit a local restaurant for an hour for lunch. Refreshed, we'll head back to the train station to return to Dublin.

We'll conclude the tour arriving back at the starting point between seven and a half and eight hours after the start of the activity.
