Why Howth Village and Cliff Path matters
Howth is the easiest escape from the city. Take the Dart train to a working fishing harbour, grab some fresh fish, and then walk the cliff path around the headland. You get sea views, seabirds and a lighthouse, all within an hour of the city centre. Weather changes quickly, so bring layers.
Talking points
- Reach it by Dart train from the city.
- Seafood is the local speciality.
- Cliff paths offer wide sea views.
