A new adventurous coastal trail from Skerries to Killiney has been officially launched in Dún Laoghaire.
The Failte Ireland Dublin Coastal 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.
Fáilte Ireland developed the project in partnership with Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council and the Dublin Local Authorities and Irish Rail.
An Cathaoirleach at 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 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."
The trail encourages multi modal exploration – focusing on the Dart and Rail line but also includes walking and cycling routes that run parallel.
The Dublin Coastal Trail is the culmination of a four-year orientation programme with key industry stakeholders and will enable visitors to better navigate and explore everything that Dublin city and county has to offer. Visitors will be able to walk, cycle or take a rail service along the route, with way-finding signs in six languages to ensure accessibility for international visitors.
The new trail will encourage domestic and international tourists to explore Dublin's beautiful coastal region.
