Guided Historical Walk

Take the fresh sea air on a guided historical walk around the picturesque coastal heritage town of Dalkey. At Coliemore Harbour, hear about the Viking slave trade on Dalkey Island, how Dalkey got its name and why large ships anchored in Dalkey Sound.

On Castle Street, marvel at the origins of ‘daylight robbery’, the discovery of a horde of Viking coins and how a young woman led the Dalkey Gold Rush.

Dalkey is famously home to, and a favourite of, a host of celebrities. See where Hollywood A listers Matt Damon and Brad Pitt bought their groceries, where Harry Styles went swimming, where Bono brought Michelle Obama for lunch and where Maeve Binchy had her own lunch table.

We offer luxury experiences for those looking for something even more exclusive.

These walks must be pre-booked and a minimum group number of 6 is required.

Tickets €16 per person (6 x €16, total €96) +Booking Fees.
