Circular walk · 7.8 km · 2 h · 130 m of ascent · along the edge of the peninsula, with the Baily lighthouse below

Howth is the peninsula that closes Dublin Bay to the north, about 30 minutes from the centre on the DART. From the station itself a 7.8 km circular walk sets off, waymarked with a green arrow on a white background, climbing up past the harbour and following the cliff path, with the open sea and the Baily lighthouse in view, before returning through the interior. It takes about two hours, with 130 m of ascent.
The path is narrow and runs very close to the edge in places: wear walking boots or trail shoes and do not stray from the path, especially with children or in the wind. When you get back, the harbour has fish stalls, seals beside the boats and, if there is time, the boat to Ireland's Eye.
