On this day trip we explored the North coast of the Dublin Bay.

Our first stop will be at the Casino Marino is this little architectural jewel of neoclassical style it is one of the most photographed buildings in Dublin despite be secluded and hidden.
You will be surprised by its history and its studied angles and its original details.

We will continue to the Castle of Malahide where we will visit the interior and its gardens.
It dates from the 11th century and was enlarged and restored at the time of Georgian splendour.
The castle belonged to the Talbot family, which, generation after generations they inhabited the castle 800 years.
The route continues along the coast from the village of Malahide, passing through Portmanock and arriving at the Howth Peninsula.
This coastal area is protected as a natural bird reserve, where endangered species are found.

In Howth we will optionally walk (45 minutes) next to the cliffs where the views over Dublin Bay reach up to
the Wicklow Mountains.
The village of Howth is very fashionable among Dubliners and here many come to eat seafood freshly brought by fishermen.
Among the boats are seals and sea lions that search the less salable fish that the boats put to the sea.
In the village we have free time to eat and walk before return to Dublin.
