Killiney Hill

Can you imagine a more perfect way to spend your day than being rewarded with a view like this after a short hike? Killiney Hill Park is located in the picturesque hills of south County Dublin and is the perfect afternoon adventure for people of all fitness levels! Why not refuel afterwards with a hot whiskey in one of the traditional pubs in the nearby seaside village of Dalkey or, continue your day of exploration and board the train to Greystones and absorb the panoramic views on offer from the comfort of your carriage. You are simply spoiled for choice! 📸 (@joannagomalley) #loveireland #ireland #irland #irlande #irlanda #discoverireland #visitireland #instaireland #hills #hike #views #coast #dublin #seaside #killiney #dalkey

Dalkey 

Hoy en día el pueblo de Dalkey es el hogar de un buen puñado de famosos, incluso Bono y Enya. Los árboles y colinas de los alrededores ofrecen intimidad, hermosas vistas y la sensación de estar lejos de todo. ¿Te animas a dar un paseo por este pueblo del sur de Dublín? #irlanda #descubreirlanda #dalkey #dublín #bono #enya #explorar #viajar #viajes #vistas
