Itinerary description
ESP / ENG
Ruta por el precioso pueblo pesquero de Howth. Empezando en la salida de la estación del DART primero se visita la zona portuaria para tener vistas del Ireland's Eye, pequeña isla cercana, después se pasa por el mercado de Howth y por el otro lado del puerto donde hay un faro. Se sigue uno de los 4 senderos marcados por la península de Howth, en este caso el azul oscuro (ni el más largo ni el más corto). Todos los senderos están perfectamente señalizados, aunque se va cerca de los acantilados no hay peligro en mi opinión. Las vistas son realmente muy bonitas y en un domingo soleado como era el caso, había muchísima gente disfrutando de la ruta. El regreso se hace por interesantes senderos ubicados cerca de zonas ya habitadas. Toda esta ruta se puede hacer en 2 horas con facilidad (algo más dependiendo del volumen de fotos, que será alto).

Route through the beautiful fishing village of Howth. Starting at the exit of the DART station, you first visit the port area to have views of the Ireland's Eye, a small nearby island, then pass through the Howth market and on the other side of the port where there is a lighthouse. After that we followed one of the 4 trails marked by the Howth Peninsula, in this case the dark blue (neither the longest nor the shortest). All the trails are perfectly signposted, although it goes near the cliffs there is no danger in my opinion. The views are really beautiful and on a sunny Sunday as was the case, there were many people enjoying the route. The return is made by interesting trails located near areas already inhabited. This entire route can be done in 2 hours with ease (something more depending on the volume of photos, which will be high).

great accessible hike. Finish off with fish chips, or fancy restaurant or some wine :)
Can someone please explain whats the difference between elevation Gain and Maximum elevation, thank you.
@paul.mc
Maximum elevation is the higuest point in the hike. Elevation gain is "accumulated drop"
Thank you for that. Im just looking for the actual height you've climbed from the figures given on results page. Do you have to deduct max elevation from lowest elevation (above sea level) to get the maximum Height you've climbed ( not cumulative figures). Is it as simple as that?
Thanks, Paul
On a route that has only one ascent and one descent, it would be possible to do this. Under normal conditions it will not be so easy.
Why this route that marks a minimum height of -5 meters. and a maximum height of 141 meters gives 142 for 'elevation gain' is a question that Wikiloc should answer and not me.
Your comments are appreciated Toni. Maybe I shd email Wikiloc to explain.

Ruta momt bonica, fàcil de seguir, sense perdre's. Al final si es vol visitar el poble antic, hi ha un trencall a la dreta, que es un carrer i està indicat "Old village"
