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 behind us, 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 the Irish at weekends and with tourists wishing to connect with the Irish countryside.

To discover the area's charms, we'll embark on a walking tour of the Howth Peninsula. During the walk, we'll enjoy views of the Irish Sea and, if clear, the Mourne Mountains in the neighboring country.

We'll stroll along the Howth fishing pier and explore the extensive grounds of the castle, which also hosts a golf course. As we walk, we'll 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 up to Ben of Howth, the highest point in the village. After the walk, we'll visit a local restaurant and provide an hour for lunch. Refreshed, we'll return to the train station for our return to Dublin.

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