Newbridge House Social Walk & Coffee

Planning a relaxed Saturday walk from Donabate into Newbridge Demesne, followed by a coffee and a chat in the café. If people are up for it afterwards, we can head back into Donabate village for an optional pint.

This is just an easy, social walk - nothing intense, just a good way to get out, stretch the legs and meet a few new people.

Meeting options (pick one):

Public transport:
Meet outside Donabate Train Station (main entrance) at 14:30 sharp.
We’ll leave from there and walk together.

Driving:
Head straight to Newbridge House & Farm car park and be there for around 14:55–15:00.
We’ll walk through the park and meet you there before continuing.

If you’re driving, send a quick message in advance so we know to come and collect you.

Getting there

Train
Balbriggan 14:00
Skerries 14:05
Rush & Lusk 14:10
Arrives Donabate 14:20

Bus:
33 / 33A / 33B all go to Donabate
Get off at stops 3590 or 3591 (right by the station)

Just make sure you’re getting off near Donabate village - not Portrane.

The plan

We’ll leave the station at 14:30 and head across the pedestrian bridge. It’s about 8 minutes to the Donabate gate entrance, then another 15 minutes through the park to the car park where we’ll meet anyone driving.

After that, we’ll do a relaxed loop around the grounds for about an hour, then stop off for coffee and a chat.

If you’re running late, just head straight to the car park and we’ll catch up there.
