Geocache Description:

The final of 6 caches along the Howth Cliff Walk.





The Howth Cliff Walk offers the walker a fine, varied walk around an open hillside and the Howth cliffs, with the guarantee of plentiful bird life, excellent sea views and colourful wild flowers.

The walk can be commenced at many different places along the route, with many easy access points from various car parks that are conveniently located close to the path. This caching trail commences at the car park 1km to the east of the village (N53 23.137 W6 03.048) and moves slowly south, then west, but can also be undertaken in a reverse order.

While the main walk is generally not very steep, a couple of caches may require some scrambling up brief stretches of steep terrain. As always in Ireland it is advised to bring along good waterproof clothing for the inevitable shower. Sturdy footware is also a must. If you wish to undertake the entire walk in one go it makes sense to bring a packed lunch and plenty of liquids, as the full journey may take in the region of 4-5 hours.

This cache is located near the end of the cliff walk. You will be close to a Martello Tower that has been recently "restored" and is now available to rent. Hopefully you will get a good view across Dublin Bay. From here you can either walk back along the Cliff Path, or move on to Sutton for several well earned pints!
