Lesser-Known Walks in Dublin

Whilst there are plenty of major sights and attractions to discover in Dublin, there are also a range of lesser-known places where you can really dig out the personality of the city. There's no doubt that you'll be doing a lot of walking during your trip, so why not check out these secret routes that take you through some of Dublin's most coveted cultures?

Take a stroll through the Farmleigh Mansion grounds, a 78-acre estate that belonged the Guinness family. Today, it's open to the public whenever there are no kings or presidents visiting, and you can explore the manicured gardens and check out the picturesque boathouse. Alternatively, you can head over to the Blessington Basin, which is now home to a relaxing park on the outskirts of the city. Then there's the Royal Canal Way, which offers a delightful walk along the canal. As you go, you can hop on and off the DART train to speed things up or slow things down.

Finally, you can hit up the 'Bog of the Frogs' loop in Howth, which is home to incredible cliffs, a charming lighthouse, and amazing views over Howth Harbour -- if you're lucky, you might even see a seal or two splashing around in the shallows. After a day of walking, you can kick back and relax in one of our stylish Dublin apartments.
