Dalkey and Killiney Hill walk

On Sunday 22nd February we'll be doing a walk to Dalkey and Killiney Hill.

From the meeting point, we will walk along Coliemore Road which gives excellent views over the Irish Sea and glimpses into the gardens of millionaires' mansions. After the delightful Coliemore Harbour with its views over to Dalkey Island we will head up Dalkey Hill and across to Killiney Hill before heading back into Dalkey. From the obelisk at the top of Killiney Hill you can see all over Dublin Bay on clear day. The length of the walk is approximately 5km. Dalkey is well-served with pubs and cafes so I expect we will have a refreshment stop before heading home from Dalkey DART Station.

Meeting Location: Dalkey Dart Station, by the cycle racks at the main entrance. There's a train that leaves Dublin Connolly at 10:52 which should arrive at 11:25. There are no north side DART services this weekend so anyone travelling from Howth or Malahide would need to get a bus or a bus and train.

*** If you wish to wander off during a break then it's probably OK but please agree with the organisers a time you'll return so we're not waiting for you ***

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.

We hope to see you there!

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.
