Dublin city guide

Dublin - Excursions (Chapter)

This is the Excursions chapter from Lonely Planet's Dublin guidebook.

Without even the smallest hint of irony Dubliners will happily tell you that one of the city’s best features is how easy it is to get out of it. A short, non-rush-hour drive will literally transport you into the countryside.

  • for a seaside escape, head out to the ever-elegant village of Malahide, fronted by a long, sandy coastal basin and an impressive marina full of shops, restaurants and expensive boats
  • get stuck into Ireland’s past at the magnificent Brú na Bóinne, an extensive Neolithic graveyard northeast of Dublin in County Meath
  • check out the breathtakingly magnificent 18th-century Palladian weekend getaways and country retreats the Protestant Ascendancy built for themselves far from Dublin’s madding crowds

Coverage includes: Coastal breaks, The distant past, Stately homes, Howth, Malahide, Dalkey, Brú na Bóinne, Newgrange, Knowth, Dowth, Glendalough, Powerscourt Estate, Russborough House and Castletown House.
