Another fabulous part of the world - Howth. From the cliff walks, the summit, the harbour, the eateries...it’s one beautiful place!
Howth is an Irish village on the Howth Peninsula, east of central Dublin. The grounds of 15th-century Howth Castle have rhododendron gardens and a transport museum with local trams. The 19th-century Martello Tower houses a vintage radio museum. The medieval ruins of St. Mary’s Abbey lie nearby. A clifftop trail has sweeping sea views. Offshore, Ireland’s Eye is an island bird sanctuary with an ancient ruined church.

Howth Pier and Martello Tower, Howth, Dublin, Ireland
Howth Martello overlooks Howth Harbour. Martello Towers were built in 1804 to protect against a possible invasion of Ireland by Napoleon of France. This is one of 21 Martello towers that have survived in County Dublin. Many have been demolished and some are privately owned. Today, Howth’s Martello house’s a vintage radio museum that exhibits radios and gramophones from the early 1900s to the present day. [Internet]
On the last day of our short Dublin trip, we visited Howth, which is situated on a peninsula close to Dublin. Even though it was a bit cold, we thoroughly enjoyed the sunshine and the sea breeze.
