Nice round in untypically good weather! ☀️At the end there was of course🐟&🍟
From Dublin you can reach Howth with the DART. The tour starts directly at the final stop.
Beautiful houses, amazing views and impressive cliffs.
A very beautiful hike. Even though it's said to be easy, I find it challenging in parts.
Having only arrived in Howth at lunchtime today, we quickly did the short cliff walk, which was a dream in this weather! The long walk will hopefully come in the next few days. We are glad that we are here for a few days, as there were a lot of tourists out and about in large groups today and we hope that this is due to the fact that it is Sunday. We stopped at the Summit Inn, which was very good. There are a lot of palm trees and argaves and other southern-looking plants growing here that we did not know.
Today we took the bus to Howth to hike the cliff path, highly recommended. Afterwards we ate something in the harbour. Today we were lucky and even saw sea lions. What more could you want?
