The DUBLIN Directory 2022

Dursey Island A trip to Dursey Island off the west coast of Cork is a must for the adventurous and accessible via Ireland’s only cable car. Take a 10-minute ride out to the island enjoying the waves and water crashing below you as you go. The island itself is a walker’s paradise – wild, remote and home to rare flora and fauna. Mizen Head Mizen Head is located in the most southern part of Ireland. Climb down the steps at the edge of the peninsula and journey along the arched suspension bridge to the point at which you can go no further. Look out at the sea and enjoy the wonderful view and noise that is created by the waves crashing off the cliffs. Activities • Take it slow along meandering coastal walks, scenic cycle routes and Greenways, a spot of kayaking and an array of world heritage sites. • Not just a landscape to be admired, with sheer cliffs to abseil, island edges to dive from, sea stacks to climb, coves to coasteer in and currents to kayak with, the Wild Atlantic Way is ever-popular with people looking for adrenaline-fuelled adventures. • Relax and enjoy star-gazing at the Dark Sky Reserves in Co Kerry and Co Mayo, or marvel at the Northern Lights in Co Donegal.
