Kilrock HouseGate lodge · 186 ydExplorer Tom Kilrock House gate lodge in Howth is a charming little red brick number from 1870. It has a bay window that looks like it’s peering out at the road. The polychrome tiles on the side are quite the show-off, aren’t they?
Bracken HallHall · 235 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.
Howth Cliff Path LoopWalking route · 446 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 · 446 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!
Cannon RockNamed rock · 555 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.
Martello Tower579 ydExplorer Tom Martello Tower in Howth is guarded by an invisible dog that barks at yachts and seagulls alike. It’s been watching the water since before we knew how to make coffee properly, so bring wellies and low expectations, leave delighted.
TombTomb, effigial · 628 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Tomb in Howth holds Sir Christopher St Lawrence from 1462, who probably had more shoes than you do now. He’s been posing for six centuries without changing his outfit. Bring wellies and low expectations, leave delighted by the fashion choices.
Cliffs of HowthViewpoint · 752 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.
Children's playground770 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Another Children's playground in County Dublin! The seesaw is balanced perfectly on a single nail. Physics? No, pure magic. Don't touch it!
The Old CourthouseHeritage attraction · 931 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.
Ben of HowthMountain / peak · 1341 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.
Shielmartin HillMountain / peak · 1.2 miExplorer 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.
