    Hiking

    Easy walk spot close to Dalkey/Killiney, with panoramic views over Killiney Bay, into the Irish sea and on a particularly clear day, sometimes Wales may be seen. Bray Head on the south of the bay and Wicklow mountains also feature.

    Hiking

    The Obelisk at the top of Killiney Hill Park in Dalkey is an absolute must-see! It's like reaching the summit of an adventure and being rewarded with incredible panoramic views of Dublin and beyond. The climb may be a bit steep, but it's totally worth it. The Obelisk itself is a fascinating structure, adding a touch of history to the stunning natural surroundings. Grab a picnic blanket, some snacks, and spend an afternoon basking in the beauty of this hidden gem. Don't forget your camera—the photo opportunities are truly Instagram-worthy!
