Discovered the Bog of Frogs walk in July 2025 as part of a preparation for the Camino Santiago de Compostela . Walked anti-clock wise from Howth Dart station, past Deerpark Golf course and through Howth Golf club on the public right of way and on along the cliffs heading for the Doldrum trail , past the telegraph cable point and onwards to the Bailey lighthouse and continue on along the cliff patch back to the Howth Harbour. Fortunately it was a sunny ,warm friday and was a very pleasant walk.I had a 7 kg bagpack and treking shoes that I used subsequently for the main Caminoin Sept 2025 I would highly recommend this walk (both directions are stunning) if you wish to train for the Camino francés..

A great trail. Start at the DART Station and follow the purple arrow onto the promenade along the harbour, i.e. follow the loop clockwise, otherwise you won't be able to easily see and follow the purple arrows that guide you along the route.

If you like hiking, you'll enjoy this. It's a fair amount of a walk and I'm going to be honest I'm not an inexperienced hiker so if I was able to complete it in an experienced hiker I would definitely be able to do it. You also get to see a lot of the cliffs and you go right alongside the ocean which is super cool. Definitely worth the trip
