Creator's Key Takeaways

I immediately headed down this first pier to get a better look at the ocean and harbor.

It was pretty spectacular, and the rock formations at the end were so majestic.

It was a short boat ride, maybe 45 minutes, but I thought it was well worth the 25.

It was really beautiful the day I went. The heather was in bloom on the mountain side, so it was covered in purple with yellow wild flowers interspersed.

YouTube Video Description

One of the quickest and simplest day trips from Dublin is to the seaside town of Howth. It is only an hour train ride from the city and the train drops you right into the heart of town. There are five things I would recommend doing if you visit: 1. Walk the two piers 2. Take a boat ride around Ireland's Eye, an island that is a short distance from Howth 3. Hike the Cliff Walk 4. Eat Seafood 5. Explore the Howth shops For senior travelers, it is easy to navigate and flat surfaces, except the hike. If you hike from downtown, it requires some stamina to get to the top. For solo travelers, it is a safe and friendly town. @seniorsolotravel Facebook Travel Forum: https://www.facebook.com/groups/443309331791413 Senior Solo Travel Website: https://www.seniorsolotravel.net/ Ireland Videos: Day trip from Dublin to Wicklow, Glendalough & Kilkenny: https://youtu.be/8nSu8XIdr5I Day trip from Dublin to Howth: https://youtu.be/cJXHFxshJUw Dublin: Coming Soon!
