Howth Harbor and Cliff Walk

On Friday and we went to Howth, a coastal town about 9 km north of Dublin.  We took the DART and it was only about a 25 minute ride.  There are several great reasons to go to Howth, the first being that it is a cute little town with a harbor full of boats, nice shops and pubs.  The reason we went was to do the cliff walk that goes around Howth Head.  The walk starts off in town then heads onto a small road with some really beautiful cliff houses with nice views, one of which W. B. Yeats (the Irish poet) lived in.  The walk then turns into a trails that goes for a few miles around Howth Head and ends up back in town.

The weather cooperated (read: it didn't rain) and we actually got a little hot at one point for the first time since we've arrived in Ireland.  The views were beautiful and it was a great day, finished off with a Guinness at the local pub back in town.
