Killiney Hill

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Killiney Hill (Cnoc Chill Iníon Léinín in Irish) is the southernmost of the two hills which form the southern boundary of Dublin Bay (the other being Dalkey Hill). Crowned by an obelisk, the hill is 153 metres high and offers beautiful views over the surrounding areas : Dublin to the northwest; the Irish Sea and the mountains of Wales (on a clear day) to the east and southeast; and Bray Head and the Wicklow Mountains to the south.

Killiney Hill and Dalkey Hill are both part of Killiney Hill Park, a small public park overlooking the villages of Dalkey to the north and Killiney to the west. The park is crossed by various walking tracks, and with its spectacular views from all directions, is a popular destination for walkers and hikers from the surrounding areas.
