Malahide Castle and Portmarnock Walk

On Saturday, 4th October we have a walk around Malahide, the beautiful grounds of Malahide Castle and also along the coast to Portmarnock Beach.

If people wanted to, we could have a picnic en route so feel free to bring snacks or other food. We can also stop at the café in Malahide Castle and/or at a Spar shop and Bubble Tea place in Portmarnock.

Feel free to come on the walk even if you haven't been to a meet up before. This is a great way to meet new people and see new places.

The walk is approx 11.5km in length with finishing up at Malahide Station, but there will be passing several bus-stops for those that get tired.

PLEASE NOTE: Walking like many outdoor activities carries an element of risk. People who take part in our meet up activities do so at their own risk and are responsible for their own actions and involvement. If you register to join our meet up walks you agree that you wish to take part in the activities knowing these risks.

Please wear boots, shoes or runners that you find comfortable, provide suitable support and have good grip as some of the paths may be uneven or steep. It is also recommended to bring water to avoid dehydration. Bring warm clothes and a waterproof jacket or umbrella in case of inclement weather. Feel free to bring walking poles if you wish.
