Spend the morning in the mountains

If you’re looking for a guilt (and alcohol) free way to enjoy your weekend, then a walk in the Dublin Mountains is the best way to do it.

The Hazel House cafe in Rathfarnham is hosting a Saturday morning mountain walk in Tibradden followed by lunch in the restaurant.

The walk is two hours so bring warm clothes and comfortable walking shoes. €15 is payable on the morning of the walk or online here: https://www.thehazelhouse.ie/store/p266/Ticket_for_Mountain_Walk_followed_by_Lunch_in_The_Hazel_House.html
