Howth, Dublin, Ireland

This is Howth! It’s a coastal town less than an hour away from Dublin City centre via the DART (a train you can take with the use of a leap card).

The train station is one stop after Sutton. You’ll be greeted with a view of Irelands Eye, a picturesque uninhabited island. You can see a “stack” of rocks which is the island’s main feature.

Near the dock you’ll get a view of the Howth Cliff Walk and the gorgeous cliffs looking over the vast Irish Sea. I recommend visiting during good weather to see the sea sparkle blue.

The walk itself consists of 5 paths, ranging from 1.5-3 hours walk. The total loop is almost 8 kilometres long. We took a route from the train station till Bailey Lighthouse.

In this case a picture speaks a thousand words so let my gallery do the rest of the narrating for me.

Be sure not to miss out this fun day trip if you’re looking for a nature getaway after a long night in the Irish pubs.
