Dart train to Dalkey/Killiney. Walk 20-30 minutes to Killiney Hill. Bono of U2 lives here.
Amazing sea views of bay stretching from Bray to Dalkey. Can swim on vico road (down Steps). Killiney beach is right beside Killiney Dart Station.
Killiney Hill is a lovely walk through the forest also. Walk to top where obelisk is and view entire area. Worth a visit. Very safe day or night.

Parks & Nature
Walk 15 mins to Dalkey park and Island. Contact Ken the Ferryman for boat to Island. Fantastic place to see ruins, animals and to scuba dive.
Dalkey Island once had it own government presided over by the King of Dalkey, and Emperor of the Muglins, Elector of Lambay and Ireland's Eye, defender of his own faith and defender of his own faith and respecter of all others.
This organisation was eventually suppressed by central government.
The island features St.Begnet's Church (ruined). Outside the door is a carved rock.
A Martello Tower and battery lies on the south-east end.
Close to the water on the land side is a holy well, apparently helps sufferers with sore eyes.
