Howth Head

This page marks Howth Head itself: the peninsula northeast of Dublin. The point comes from its exact public identity and is a point for the whole headland, not a promise that every cliff edge is safe or reachable.

Howth Head is a prominent headland composed mainly of Silurian sandstone and quartzite, formed around 430 million years ago through sedimentary deposition and subsequent metamorphism. It is notable for its dramatic sea cliffs and as a key geographical landmark northeast of Dublin, offering insights into the ancient geological history of the Irish coastline.
