The Howth Cliff Walk offers the walker a fine, varied walk around an open hillside and the Howth cliffs, with the guarantee of plentiful bird life, excellent sea views and colourful wild flowers.
The walk can be commenced at many different places along the route, with many easy access points from various car parks that are conveniently located close to the path. This caching trail commences at the car park 1km to the east of the village (N53 23.137 W6 03.048) and moves slowly south, then west, but can also be undertaken in a reverse order.
While the main walk is generally not very steep, a couple of caches may require some scrambling up brief stretches of steep terrain. As always in Ireland it is advised to bring along good waterproof clothing for the inevitable shower. Sturdy footware is also a must. If you wish to undertake the entire walk in one go it makes sense to bring a packed lunch and plenty of liquids, as the full journey may take in the region of 4-5 hours.
The Piper's Gut cache requires a scramble upwards from the cliff path, so care is required when heading up or down to the cache. The cache location should offer you a peaceful location to rest your bones! There is a clear, but steep path to the cache starting to the right of the sign post. The cache is a small regular cache. Happy caching!
