Howth Peninsula Hiking Tour

At the appointed time, we'll meet at the Spire monument. We'll proceed to the train station and depart from Dublin city centre to 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 known for its serene environment, popular with locals and tourists interested in the Irish countryside.

To explore the area's charms, we'll embark on a walking tour of the Howth Peninsula. During the walk, we will enjoy views of the Irish Sea and, on clear days, the Mourne Mountains across the border.

We will walk along the Howth fishing pier and explore the extensive grounds of the castle, which also host a golf course. Along the way, we will see beech and azalea trees, as well as a megalithic tomb or dolmen that is over 3000 years old.

The walk will take us along the high cliffs of the peninsula and up to Ben of Howth, the highest point in the village, perfect for photographs.

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

The tour concludes by returning to the starting point approximately seven and a half to eight hours after the activity begins.
