Things to do in Howth, Province of Leinster: The Best Outdoor Activities
Howth (/ˈhoʊθ/; Irish: Binn Éadair, meaning "Éadar's peak") is a village and outer suburb of Dublin, Ireland. The district occupies the greater part of the peninsula of Howth Head, forming the northern boundary of Dublin Bay. Originally just a small fishing village, Howth with its surrounding once-rural district is now a busy suburb of Dublin, with a mix of dense residential development, quarries and wild hillside. The only neighbouring district on land is Sutton. Howth is also home to one of the oldest occupied buildings in Ireland, Howth Castle. It has been the site of filming for many films.

A beautiful sunny day in Ireland asks for some outdoor activity. We took the DART to Howth (30-40 minutes from Pearse station). The longest hike is the Bog of Frogs. Follow the purple arrows (and get a free map at the tourist information). Great views all the way: cliffs, light house, a beach, golf course, Dublin Bay, and a bit of forest. We had a little picknick (you have to buy food and drinks before you leave), and lots of photo stops. It took us about 4.5 hrs. Bring sun glasses and sun screen on a sunny day. Hiking boots recommended. Great experience!

Absolutly Fantastic!! I went to Dear Park Golf course earlier this month for my stag party with 16 others and played their amazing 18 hole Foot Golf course. The staff could not have been more welcoming, great bar, great bear and the course is absolutely spectacular, beautifully kept and the views are fantastic. I would recommend going here all day long if you are going to Dublin.
