About this tour

This private full-day tour takes you beyond the city to explore the medieval castles, coastal villages, and lush countryside that lie to the north of Dublin. From the dramatic ruins of Trim Castle to the elegant gardens of Malahide and the cliff-edge charm of Howth, this journey is filled with contrasts and Irish character.

Start your day inland at Trim Castle, Ireland’s largest Anglo-Norman stronghold, before heading east through the rolling hills of County Meath. You’ll take in the spiritual history of the Hill of Tara, then head toward the coastline to explore one of Dublin’s most iconic castles at Malahide. The day ends in the fishing village of Howth, where sea views, cliff walks, and fresh seafood await.

As always, your guide will tailor the experience to suit your pace and interests — whether you’re a history enthusiast, a nature lover, or simply in search of an authentic Irish experience.
