On Dublin's Doorstep
Dublin boasts beautiful surrounding landscapes, from lush green mountains to the blue Irish Sea. Here's how to enjoy them to the full with a walk to suit every taste...
County Dublin has got the lot for a walker, whether you’re super-fit or a casual stroller. What do you fancy? A gentle coastal walk, some pretty woodlands or a full-on mountain hike? They’re all just a short ride from Dublin city centre.
Howth Cliff Walk- This looped walk takes in blustery sea coast and tranquil inland fields. This route has got everything, but the path is rugged in parts so wear your boots!
From the city centre, take the Dart (train) to Howth from the city centre, and start off from the east pier following the cliff path along the east side of Howth head.
Dun Laoghaire East Pier- Sometimes a short, bracing walk is just the ticket. Perhaps you want to work up an appetite – or even walk off a good lunch at any of the cafés along the Pavilion promenade? Dun Laoghaire pier is the answer – and it’s only about 15 minutes southbound on the Dart (train) from the city centre. It’s a relatively short out-and-back, looking out to sea and over the marina.
There are two piers to choose from, both of which curve around like pincers to create the harbour. The East Pier is the most popular for walking – at 1.3km it’s just a shade shorter than the West Pier and it is nearer the Dart station.
Dublin's Music Scene
Dublin is an incredible musical city, boasting a wealth of venues showcasing everything from electronic beats to rock and roll. Simply take your pick of live music as you wander through the city streets and immerse yourself in the electric atmosphere.
