Starting at the DART (train) station in Howth village and following green arrows this walk takes the path along the cliffs climbing to €˜The Summit' and returning along a path parallel to the outward route. The views of Lambay Island and Ireland's Eye as well as Dublin Bay are spectacular. The cliffs are great for birds and grey seals may also be seen

The trail is definitely AT LEAST 10 k.
I did it in running shoes but agree that firmer soles would be more desirable. I saw people in flip flops and thought that would make it tough.
I also saw people with small children and thought that would be tough, too, though I think people can park close to some of the access points and then all you need to do is clamber down to the shore.
Btw, STAY ON THE MARKED PATH. I did the long loop and noticed that there were some “shortcuts”. They could be shorter, but they are also not well graded and you will end up on a very steep ascent (or descent, I suppose).
Today was a beautiful, sunny, hot day. I brought water and was glad.

The little DART train out from Dublin was fun to take and, if you have a bit of time, it is nice to stop here and there and explore. Put your swim suit on under your hiking clothes and go down to the local swimming spots for a quick, refreshing dip. Be sure to pack a lunch and bring a sketch pad if you draw.
On my way back to the station it started to rain like crazy and a very nice local stopped and offered to give me a lift. Nice people, beautiful views, wonderful memory.
