10c. Howth to Sutton Cross scenic cliff walk - Part 3 The path along the cliffs This is a wonderful sea cliff walk with outstanding views most of the way e.g. across to Irelands Eye and Lambay Island and across Dublin Bay to the Wicklow mountains.
Heading out to the Cliffs of Howth and looking back towards the Martello Tower (on the left of the above and below pictures), the harbour breakwater and Irelands Eye island.
