Howth Peninsula Hiking Tour

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

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

To explore the area, we'll embark on a walking tour of the Howth Peninsula. The walk will offer stunning views of the Irish Sea and, on clear days, 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 houses a golf course. Along the way, we will encounter 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, providing numerous photo opportunities.

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

We will conclude the tour returning to the starting point between seven and a half and eight hours after the start of the activity.
