Excursion Howth cliff walk tour at Dublin

Howth is a bustling village that offers visitors a myriad of attractions - look out for Lambay Island, Ireland's Eye, the Martello Tower and the brilliantly visible Baily Lighthouse.

Wildlife enthusiasts will adore this area, particularly Ireland's Eye and its bird sanctuary, which boasts guillemots, razorbills, fulmars, gulls and gannets to name just a few. If you're lucky, you may even see grey seals diving for fish just offshore.

Start your walk at The Summit, with magnificent views of Baily Lighthouse - the last of Ireland's 82 lighthouses to become automated, the path leads you around the winding cliff paths. Take in the stunning views of Lambay Island and Ireland's Eye, but take care of your footing as the path draws very close to the lip of the cliff and you must walk near to the edge.

All around, you'll be overwhelmed by the magnificent heady scent of coconut from the bright yellow gorse on the heath. Your walk will lead you down and around to Howth village where you will be welcomed for a refreshment before re-joining your coach and guide for your return journey to port.
