The new Fáilte Ireland Dublin Coastal trail was officially launched last week in Dún Laoghaire, writes Amy Rohu.
This new trail which begins at Skerries and runs to Killiney has signage installed in towns and villages along the route and highlights key visitor attractions and experiences along the way.
Developed by Fáilte Ireland in partnership with Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council, the Dublin Local Authorities and Irish Rail, the trail will open up access to the Dublin coastline and encourage visitors to explore the towns, outdoor activities and attractions that lie within easy reach of the city centre.
Speaking about the trail, An Cathaoirleach of Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council, Councillor Cllr Lettie Mc Carthy said: “dlr are delighted to partner with Fáilte Ireland on the development of the Dublin Coastal Trail which will highlight the range of coastal activities and experiences we have on offer in Dún Laoghaire, from our historic harbour to the heritage attractions.
Dún Laoghaire is where visitors can access the sea at many bathing points, enjoy scenic views and guided boat tours. We’ve seen a significant upward trend in people enjoying outdoor activities over the last two years and we know the appeal of exploring the outdoors will continue to grow post-COVID-19 so it’s fantastic that visitors will now be encouraged to explore the coastal towns and villages that lie within easy reach of Dublin’s city centre.”
