Overview

This three-hour Dublin coastal hiking tour with Howth Adventures begins at Howth Market, where the local guide meets the group. The walk starts along the harbor, with opportunities to see seals in their natural habitat. The route continues through village paths to St Mary's Abbey, originally built by Viking King Sitric. Next, the hike ascends Howth Head, offering panoramic views in all directions, described by HG Wells as some of the most beautiful in the world. The trail then crosses heathlands and wildflower-covered areas to reach Howth Summit, overlooking Baily Lighthouse and the Dublin Bay Biosphere. Along the way, the guide shares local stories and historical information. The tour proceeds to the Martello Tower, where views include the harbor and the nearby islands of Ireland's Eye and Lambay. The main part of the hike finishes with the famous cliff path loop, featuring coastal views and chances to observe wildlife.
