Dog lovers must do- coastal walk with Mark and Missy

5.00We were greeted at the meeting point by Star and Sky who showed us the harbor. After that we went on the hiking trail with Missy. After the trail we had a pint- the end. When you book a tour that is called coastal walk with dogs and a pint you come I guess because you are a dog lover. We were greeted by Mark and his two puppies at the meeting point and had some puppy time while learning about the history of this beautiful coastal town so close to Dublin. The two puppies went home and their experienced sister Missy did the coastal trail with us. Mark is very knowledgeable and you have the feeling of walking with your friend who is super excited to finally show you his town and surrounding. We had a great time, loved being with the dogs and enjoyed the pint and the delicious food at the end of our tour.
This was a great...

5.00What an incredible day hiking, enjoying a perfect day of sun and blue skies. Patrick led us to some interesting historical sites with amusing anecdotes which was fun. And then the cliff hike began where we experienced more of that, the views were spectacular! We ended up at the Bloody Stream pub for pints and good craic with Patrick. A banner day on Howth!
