Introducing Malahide
Malahide (Mullach Ide) was once a small village with its own harbour, a long way from the urban jungle of Dublin. The only thing protecting it from the northwards expansion of Dublin’s suburbs is Malahide Demesne, 101 well-tended hectares of parkland dominated by a castle once owned by the powerful Talbot family. The handsome village remains relatively intact, but the once quiet marina has been massively developed and is now a bustling centre with a pleasant promenade and plenty of restaurants and shops. A great way to Dublin from the sea is by boarding a speedboat run by Sea Safaris (806 1626; www.seasafari.ie; Malahide Marina; per hr €25) and going for an hour-long trip around Dublin Bay.
