Our literary journey concludes in one of Dublin’s most breathtaking and romantic settings: the Howth Peninsula, a place forever etched in the hearts of Ulysses readers. Here, Leopold Bloom fondly rec… Full review by MuseDublin

Tremendous trecking through the peninsula of Howth, in authentic nature with a stroller and toddler. Certainly a little dangerous if there is mud on your way, there are 3 differents paths depending o… Full review by Rodolfo_Wilk

Beautiful scenery, breathtaking views. Amazing place to get away from the busy city center. My family and I enjoyed the walk and we were very relaxed afterwards. There is a great little market if you… Full review by Pioneer09256016732

There is a nice beach in Howth just behind the dart station. You cant miss it. Just follow the crowd! However, it is mostly a pebble beach. There is a nice pier with a number of restaurants, cafes and a park with swings etc.
We will be visiting in July. Is it necessary to purchase a DARt train ticket in advance from Dublin to Howth. This will be a day trip from Dublin. Thank you for your reply.

No. Just show up to the Connolly train station and purchase. The express takes about 20 minutes to Howth. This station mainly serves Ireland East. You will have to check on the times. Easy, very scenic ride. Enjoy! Stop into the Abbey Tavern if you can, on the hill. Great food and around the corner from an old Abbey the overlooks the sea.
Can this be a self guided tour or can you only see it through a tour guide? Thank you

Howth head and the walks are best done in your own. The walks are all well marked with colours each telling you how long they all take. They range from 45 mins to 3 hours so good selection. If you arrive by train turn left out of the station and walk up through the village to the end where the pier wall starts. There are some toilets here as well! From here you can decide which walk you want based on the colours on the sign. You can stop at the head and walk back down to the village or carry on see more of the coastline. There is a pub by the head called the summit. Very popular with tourists because of its location at the head but also because it is outside the bus stop too. My advice is wait until you get back to village and eat and drink in The Bloody Stream. Great old fashioned up with wonderful food. It is right next to the train station as well so very handy.
Is there anywhere near the Howth Dart station where we can check our luggage while we explore the city?
A:
No there isnt. The station is actually in the middle of a pub-"The Bloody Stream". You'd have to see it to see exactly how that works. You can get the DART from Connolly Station-they …
No there isnt. The station is actually in the middle of a pub-"The Bloody Stream". You'd have to see it to see exactly how that works. You can get the DART from Connolly Station-they will advise on this service,or point you to one that exists in the City Centre. A word of warning-do not bring luggage to Howth,between the harbour,the hill and the rugged walks,you wont get very far!
