My friend who lived in Ireland would take the train out of the city to Howth many times. When he decided to take us there one day - I never anticipated this adventure being one of the best experiences I've ever had. We took the 20 minute train ride in the morning and started our venture toward the summit. Keep in mind that this walk is very difficult on a windy day - so choose a day with no rain and less wind since they don't have railings or ropes to hold onto. There are a few benches along the route in case you need to sit. Do wear comfortable shoes and expect to climb a few rocky paths but don't be discouraged because it isn't difficult when other people are with you. There are three picture perfect points along the trail that literally take your breath away on a sunny day. If you're feeling confused or just need to clear your head - this experience is for you. It's beautiful and soothing, as well as great exercise for people on vacation that normally work out when they're at home. When you reach the top-ish area....take a walk to the Summit Inn and have a few pints. They have an indoor and outdoor area and it's really cute. Overall, Howth is a great place to spend with the family or friends.

This is a great place to walk for all ages- different paths and walk ways from beginner to moderate. Dog friendly area to walk dog's in too. They also have a fairy theme going on around the woods. Nice tea rooms when finished for a cuppa and chat. Great playground for small children too.

Fantastic place to avoid the cars and a safe place to run, walk or dog walk. Runs for miles from Dalkey to Dunlaoghaire

Ruined by an industrial walk way around the internal walls signed off by the Office of Public Works and LCC costing a small fortune of tax payers money(millions) and installed by engineers who got the measurements wrong and is only accessible on half the internal wall.(they fecked up) Brown envelopes no doubt involved ! This is a crying shame and has ruined the appearance and this magnificent Palace where the Bishop of Dublin resided many moons ago. Should be removed , money repaid, metal walk way removed and a wooden structure should be installed in its place...this attempt to marry the old with the new does not work at all! IT'S DREADFUL!
