View of Dublin Bay

Highlight • Viewpoint

View over the bay towards Dublin - and then the rather industrial part of it. Still can be nice to sit here for a break and watch the sun go down and ships pulling in towards harbour.

Tip by

4.98 km

View over Howth Head, with Golf Course below and Sutton in the distance. Interestingly, Howth Head was once its own island, but it is now connected to the mainland by a narrow sandy bridge known as a tombolo, in Sutton.
