Overview of your Dublin tour:

Situated just 20km from Dublin, the Hill of Howth seems a world away from the hustle and bustle of the Irish capital. With its storied past, wide open spaces and abundant marine life (porpoises, seals) Howth gives the impression more of a West of Ireland hideaway than of a ruralised stretch of Dublin's commuter belt. Boasting the best seafood eateries on the East Coast, intimate cafés and traditional pubs, the Peninsula is surrounded by stunning views - soaring cliffs, dense forests, and a real olde worlde harbor area more like a throwback to a bygone era. So join me on a hike around Dublin's best-kept secret (we get the H3 bus from town to the top of Howth Hill where we start the tour beside the Summit Inn - highest pub in Dublin), and view the city in the distance from Howth's lofty 200m peak. We'll then ramble along the cliffs to the screech of seagulls, taking in the fresh salty air before arriving two hours later into the old harbor to finish the day in one of its many bar-restaurants.

What's extra
  • Other: Personal expenses. You'll need a good sturdy pair of shoes or boots - some of the terrain we cover is uphill and rocky. You'll also do well to take a foldaway umbrella or portable poncho; and given that it can also be muddy after rain has fallen, wear jeans or casual trousers - definitely not your best gear. If the day is windy, you'd be well advised too to take a scarf to wrap around your neck - there can be quite a wind chill at the top of Howth Hill.
