Howth Half-Day Trip: Cliff Walk, Seafood & Ireland's Eye
Dublin, Ireland
About This Activity
Howth is Dublin's most accessible coastal escape — a 35-minute DART ride (€6.25 day return) from Connolly Station. The cliff walk trails range from 1 to 3 hours and offer dramatic Atlantic views. West Pier has a row of seafood restaurants serving Howth's famous prawns and crab claws. For wildlife, take the seasonal ferry to Ireland's Eye island for seabird colonies and Martello tower ruins. A perfect half-day out requiring no tour booking.
