Kilrock HouseHouse · 38 ydExplorer Tom The main Kilrock House in Howth is a proper red brick beauty from 1870. It’s got canted bays and a weathervane that probably tells the wind where to go. The original sashes are still there, which is lucky for us.
Bracken HallHall · 399 ydExplorer Tom Bracken Hall in Howth is a corrugated-iron hall from 1930 that’s now disused. It has decorative timber barge boards and a pointed-arch door. I bet it rattles every time the wind blows past, like an old tin can rolling down a street.
Martello Tower454 ydExplorer Tom Martello Tower in Howth. Stands on a natural spur above Balscadden Bay, with an entrance in the southwest side featuring a machicolation. A sturdy stone structure watching the sea, visible from the village below.
Cliffs of HowthViewpoint · 564 ydExplorer Tom Cliffs of Howth are seen from the Balscadden Road, which sounds like a place built by people who hate walking. Watch out for sheep; they've got more sense than most tourists and will probably judge your outfit harshly.
IndicatedGraveyard · 578 ydExplorer Tom Graveyard in Howth. After a 2011 storm collapsed part of this crenellated wall, the graveyard was buttressed to keep its secrets safely underground again.
Cannon RockNamed rock · 587 ydExplorer Tom Cannon Rock in County Dublin is just a rock with a name. It sits there looking important, probably because it was named after a cannon that fell off a ship long ago. Give it a wave from a safe distance.
Howth Black Linn LoopWalking route · 670 ydExplorer Tom Howth Black Linn Loop in County Dublin is one of four loops from the station, which means you have choices. I pick the one with the best view. Which one are you doing?

The Old CourthouseHeritage attraction · 913 ydExplorer Tom The Old Courthouse in Howth, County Dublin, has heard more secrets than a priest. The walls are probably listening right now. Take a picture for me if you pass! Whisper to the bricks.
Howth Tourism Information KioskVisitor information · 968 ydExplorer Tom Howth Tourism Information Kiosk has a map that might be from the Jurassic period. Ask them about whales, they love talking about whales.
George IV's footstepsMemorial · 1123 ydExplorer Tom George IV's footsteps in County Dublin marks where the king actually walked. Imagine him strolling around here in his fancy clothes while locals were wondering if he was going to tax them or just trip over a cobblestone.
Ben of HowthMountain / peak · 1606 ydExplorer Tom Ben of Howth in County Dublin gives you a view of Portmarnock and Malahide from the northwest. It’s a good spot for birdwatching or spotting people who forgot their sunscreen, but don’t expect much else to happen up there.
