Take a hike around the picturesque hills of Howth Head, one of the most scenic walking routes in Ireland. Although Howth is just a short distance from Dublin city, the peninsula feels like a world away, offering the sense of being deep in the wild Irish countryside. From the vivid green hills to the sparkling blue sea, every step provides stunning views and a refreshing connection with nature. The winding trails and rugged coastline make it a perfect escape for those wanting to enjoy Ireland’s natural beauty without venturing far from the city.
Walking with Mark and his dog, Missy, adds a friendly and personal touch to the experience. It feels less like a formal guided walk and more like strolling with a knowledgeable friend, eager to share insights about the local area and its history. Along the way, you’ll encounter the playful colony of seals in the harbour and observe native seabirds around the cliffs, making the hike not only visually spectacular but full of wildlife and local character.

The Howth Cliff Walk is an absolute must-do when visiting Dublin. The trail offers breathtaking coastal views, fresh sea air, and a perfect mix of peaceful nature and dramatic scenery. It’s an easy train ride from the city and feels like a world away once you’re surrounded by cliffs, wildflowers, and the sound of crashing waves. The walk can be as long or short as you like, with plenty of photo spots and a charming village waiting at the end for a well-earned pint or seafood meal. A true Irish gem.
Beautiful day hike. Great view of the Eye of Ireland. Amazing seafood restaurant's. Only 40 minutes away from Dublin on the train. Tara station in Dublin to the Howth station is 2 50 Euro each way. Great place to see the sea and a great hike.
The Howth Cliff Walk is fantastic—beautiful trails with stunning coastal views. The town of Howth itself is charming, making the whole experience even better. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area.
The tour was fantastic. We walked through town and then onto one of the trails along the coastline. The views were spectacular. We learned so much about the town of Howth as well. Getting to Howth from Dublin was very easy to do. I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to see some amazing coastal views that are further enhanced by a terrific guide. Don’t pass up the opportunity to do this tour.
Patrick was funny and energetic and had so much good information for us. The town was very easy to get to on public transportation. The hike was spectacular. And everything is always better when it is finished with a Guinness. Would book it again in a heartbeat.
Easy walk, note though it’s not handicap accessible. Gorgeous views. Once in a while the cliff seems to end pretty close from the trail - breathtaking and scary :) It’s a good idea to use sunscreen
We really enjoyed the trip. The guide and his dog were very friendly. He spoke interestingly about Irish customs and traditions. We recommend it 100%. Joanna and Krzysztof
Patrick was a phenomenal guide who made the whole experience a ton of fun and showed us some gorgeous sites. Would 10/10 recommend this tour!!
This was a wonderful experience! The views are incredible! Mark was warm, entertaining, and knowledgeable. He made a concerted effort to interact with and get to know each of the members of the group. He went the extra mile by creating a video of the activity for us and shared it as we enjoyed our lunch and pints! This is truly an experience not to miss!
Fantastic views and a fabulous panorama await! It's definitely worth walking the entire path. With various routes ranging from 5 to 15 km, everyone can find a distance that suits their fitness level, and those stunning panoramic views are accessible on every single one.
