Starting at the DART (train) station in Howth village and following blue arrows this walk takes the path along the cliffs climbing to €˜The Summit' and returning along the old tramline. The views of Lambay Island and Ireland's Eye as well as Dublin Bay are spectacular. The cliffs are great for birds and grey seals may also be seen.

Enikő from Dublin

Very pleasant loop walk, you get a chance to see the lighthouse and your walk leads to the village via a private path, not along the houses. Really recommended for a Sunday afternoon.
