Sorrento Point Rock Fishing is free to the public and a great place for mackerel and feather fishing. You need a fishing rod as line fishing not so easy and snagging in the rocks. Excellent!

We were supposed to goto Hills of Moher and Galway but our was cancelled due to strong winds. Howth was suggested by a really nice lady at the Dublin Visitor Center on O’Connell Street. We took the train to Howth and spent almost a full day hiking (spectacular views despite a bit windy weather which was expected for February) and walking around town. We even got to saw dolphins during our hike. We would have gone further on to the Light House but the trail was under construction so we turned back and walked to where we started. We also tried Beshoffs fish and chips and the scampi as a treat which were delicious. Highly recommend.

This is one location visitors can see when they go to Bru na Boinne. If your time allows you to see only one of the sites, then choose to go to Newgrange instead of this one. If, however, your schedule has enough time for you to see both, by all means do. The two offer different experiences. If you purchased OPW (Office of Public Works) cards, you want to check to see if this location is one that is free for cardholders. We bought the cards on our first day in Ireland and used them daily, sometimes multiple times a day. If you're a history fan, you may want to consider buying these cards too. A bus takes visitors to the site of these ancient burial tombs that are old like the pyramids of Egypt. The sides of the mounds are constructed of large boulders with hand-carved images made by creative hands thousands of years ago. Fascinating to see and wonder at how and why they were made. At the end of the tour, visitors can climb up to the top of the largest tomb and admire the gorgeous views of the surrounding countryside. Tour guides keep visitors captivated by details about the tombs, their construction, the geniuses who made them, and their rediscovery in modern times.
