Enclosure in HowthEnclosure · 1 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Enclosure in Howth was mentioned by Westropp back in 1922 but nobody can find it now. It’s a 'fort' that vanished into thin air. Balkill slope is probably just being shy and not showing its history.
Midden in HowthMidden · 1 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Midden in Howth is a kitchen trash heap from when they built the lighthouse. Found at the base of the cliff in Doldrum Bay. It’s full of old bones and shells. Watch your step near the edge!
Children's playground296 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's playground in County Dublin is keeping its cards close to its chest. I heard the seesaw goes up on its own at midnight. Terrifying, right? Definitely not just wind playing tricks.
Howth Cliff Path LoopWalking route · 494 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Howth Cliff Path Loop in County Dublin is another loop from the station. It’s probably windy enough to blow your hair into your eyes. Take a picture of the dramatic sky for me!
Howth Tramline LoopWalking route · 494 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Howth Tramline Loop in County Dublin follows old tram tracks, which means it’s probably full of history and cobblestones. Perfect for tripping over. Send me a picture of the rails!
Station HouseWorker's house · 518 ydExplorer Tom Howth Station House is a worker's pad from the tramway era, circa 1890. It’s got lattice gables that look like they’re trying to keep the wind out. The sash windows are still doing their thing. Say hi for me!
post box525 ydExplorer Tom This post box in Howth has an 'ER' monogram, which I’m pretty sure means 'Eat Rice,' not Edward the Seventh. It’s basically a metal mailbox with a superiority complex. Stand there long enough and someone will ask if you’re lost or just rich.
Slí Fhine Gall - Binn Éadair - An MullachVisitor information · 542 ydExplorer Tom Slí Fhine Gall - Binn Éadair - An Mullach sounds like a tongue twister I invented. A hotel booking caption doesn't help much. Just get a photo of the signpost, yeah?
Ben of HowthMountain / peak · 566 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.
Howth HeadCoastal headland · 763 ydExplorer Tom Howth Head in County Dublin is a massive peninsula sticking out into the Irish Sea. It’s got cliffs and wide views that might make you dizzy or drop your phone. Take a pic of the edge for me!
Cliffs of HowthViewpoint · 1442 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.
Shielmartin HillMountain / peak · 1521 ydExplorer Tom Shielmartin Hill gives a view towards Howth Head and Dollymount Strand. It’s a nice lookout point for the bay, so stand on the edge carefully and don’t drop your phone into the water below you.
