VIEWS OVER DUBLIN BAY
HOWTH CASTLE & ESTATE
Howth Castle sits atop the Hill of Howth, just 30 minutes from The Grand Hotel Malahide. The estate bring together centuries of story, woodland walks and wide views across Dublin Bay. Make a day of it in Howth, then return to the quieter rhythm of Malahide by evening.
Howth Castle Estate offers a different perspective on Dublin’s coast. The castle sits within grounds that lead towards woodland, heathland and views across the bay, making it an inviting place to spend an unhurried afternoon.
Guided tours offer access to the castle at selected times, while the wider estate can be explored between dawn and dusk, with routes including rhododendron walks, Aideen’s Grave and the summit of Muck Rock.
The estate also brings together experiences beyond the castle itself, including Deer Park Golf and Howth Castle Cookery School. Pair a visit with time in Howth Harbour or a stretch of the cliff walk, then return to The Grand Hotel for dinner and an evening by the coast.

ON YOUR DOORSTEP
BEGIN IN MALAHIDE
Some of the area’s most memorable experiences begin just moments from the hotel. Wander through Malahide Village, where independent shops, cafés and the marina create an easy-going coastal atmosphere, or step into centuries of local story at Malahide Castle & Gardens. With the village, castle grounds and shoreline close by, there is no need to travel far to make a day feel well spent.
SEA AIR & OPEN ROADS
FOLLOW THE COAST
Beyond Malahide, the Fingal coastline opens out into long sandy beaches, harbour towns and sea-view walks. Head to Portmarnock for an expansive beach stroll, hire a bike and explore at your own pace, or make the journey to Howth for harbour dining and dramatic cliffside views. It is an invitation to take the scenic route, with every turn offering a new perspective on Dublin’s north coast.
EXPLORE FINGAL
GARDENS, ESTATES, & COASTLINE
Take the time to explore the wider character of Fingal, where historic estates meet open parkland and the Irish Sea. Discover the gardens and coastal views of Ardgillan Castle, step back in time at Newbridge House & Farm, or travel north to Skerries Mills for a glimpse of traditional craft and coastal village life. Each offers an easy day out from Malahide, with space to wander, pause and see a different side of Dublin.
DUBLIN WITHIN REACH
MAKE A DAY OF THE CITY
Dublin City is close enough to enjoy at your own pace, whether you are planning a family day out, attending a major sporting occasion or taking in the capital’s best-known sights. Visit Dublin Zoo in Phoenix Park, experience the atmosphere of Croke Park or Aviva Stadium, or see the city through a guided DoDublin tour. When the day is done, return to The Grand Hotel and the calmer rhythm of the coast.
