Dalkey and Killiney Hill walk
Details
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!

- How easy/difficult is this walk? Most walking groups would classify this as a medium walk, so having a reasonable level of fitness is recommended.
- Why are there only a limited number of places for this event? To ensure the best possible experience for the people attending it is necessary to limit the numbers, especially as the chosen route may not be straightforward and along narrow paths.
- Why is it necessary to book on this event if you wish to attend? This is because there are only a limited number of spaces (see point above) and to ensure the fairest allocation of spaces, we kindly request everyone to book a place. It's OK to change your mind about coming but please change your RSVP as soon as you have for someone else to take the place if they wish to.
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.
