More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You leave Dublin while the city is still shrugging off morning light and head west into a landscape that opens like a living map. Narrow country roads give way to wide Atlantic horizons; at the cliffs the wind arranges itself into a steady, salty interrogation that pushes you toward the edge. Walkways skirt the precipice where seabirds wheel and the ocean throws its raw noise up against the limestone face.
