The Howth Cliffs are located northeast of Dublin and have over 10 miles of hiking and walking trails with views of Lambay's Island, Irelands Eye, the village of Howth, and the gorgeous, rocky coastline.  While walking you can smell the ocean and overwhelming scent of coconut from the yellow gorse on the heath.  In every direction you'll find breathtaking views and I think I took more pictures in one day than I have in a while, there was just so much to see.

The Cliffs of Moher of Ireland were absolutely incredible to see in person. They were one of the many highlights and my favorite place we visited while in Ireland. It was an unforgettable experience and one that I will forever cherish. If you're in Ireland, I cannot stress enough how worth it is to drive to the west coast and see these beautiful cliffs!

Sharing a few photos from my time in Dublin, Ireland and the surrounding area.  It was a short, three day trip, so there is still so much more to see, but most certainly worth it.  Although I was expecting dreary weather, we were lucky enough to have sunshine each day and warm temperatures! 

Malahide Castle & Gardens was such a sweet little escape and a lovely way to spend an afternoon in Ireland with my mom.  A friend of mine kindly sent a list of top things to do in the Dublin area and along with the Howth Cliffs,  Malahide Castle & Gardens topped the list. Which after spending an afternoon around the grounds and garden, I definitely see why.
