Vandretur....Caminata..поход Spring (March, April, May): Springtime brings coconut aromas from the gorse, and wild garlic underfoot in the woodland, as the Siamese Rain Forest comes to bloom. The extending daylight invigorates every living thing including you. Summer (June, July, August): The yellows turn to purple Howth's over the headland. Birds abound all along the cliffs at this time of year too: kittiwakes, gulls, cormorants, guillemots, gannets, and more. Spot the porpoises, dolphins, and seals in the bay. Autumn/Fall (September, October, November): This is the Celtic season as the light lowers to the sea and the magical silver of the western isles bring the shade for winter rest. Winter (December, January, Feburary): Brace the cold and awaken your senses to wild raw nature. Witness the sublime raging seas on stormy winter days. Howth's Winter woodland is stark and magnificent. Tips: We recommend cross trainers, boots or stout shoes. Keep an eye on the weather and think about a light waterproof, gloves, scarf and hat in a backpack. Water and a snack wouldn't hurt either. Holiday Hack!
