More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You push off from the middle pier of Howth Harbour and the sound of gulls and tidewater sets the tempo. The electric assist hums; the peninsula opens in a sequence of salt-sprayed cliff edges, quiet back lanes and low heathland. Within three hours you reach the Summit, skirt the Baily Lighthouse and watch Dublin Bay widen to the south, the Wicklow hills pushing the horizon like a distant spine.
