Howth Head

Reviewed By sarahblandry - Manchester, United States

If you are visiting Dublin do yourself a favor and take one day to leave the city by DART train and see quaint Howth. Amazing walking trails, ocean views, delicious seafood restaurants everywhere, local crafts and food at the Howth market. Only a 30 minute train ride - well worth it!

Howth Summit

Reviewed By awolfie12 - Philadelphia, United States

My friend who lived in Ireland would take the train out of the city to Howth many times. When he decided to take us there one day - I never anticipated this adventure being one of the best experiences I've ever had. We took the 20 minute train ride in the morning and started our venture toward the summit. Keep in mind that this walk is very difficult on a windy day - so choose a day with no rain and less wind since they don't have railings or ropes to hold onto. There are a few benches along the route in case you need to sit. Do wear comfortable shoes and expect to climb a few rocky paths but don't be discouraged because it isn't difficult when other people are with you. There are three picture perfect points along the trail that literally take your breath away on a sunny day. If you're feeling confused or just need to clear your head - this experience is for you. It's beautiful and soothing, as well as great exercise for people on vacation that normally work out when they're at home. When you reach the top-ish area....take a walk to the Summit Inn and have a few pints. They have an indoor and outdoor area and it's really cute. Overall, Howth is a great place to spend with the family or friends.

Clogherhead Headland Walk

Reviewed By damienkierans

2km walk over the headland from the Little Strand to Port Oriel is a must if in Clogherhead. The views are incredible and sunrises are amazing.

Nelsons Head

In Ireland, Admiral Horatio Nelson was a figure standing on top of a 134' Doric column in the middle of O'Connell Street. He appeared to symbolise English rule over the waves (an over Ireland). In 1966, on the anniversary of the Easter Rising of 1966, persons unknown, put some plastic explosives under Nelson. Both he and his piller jumped up in the air and came down in smithereens.
