Overview
Led by a local tour guide, the tour commences at Howth Train Station and will take visitors through the village of Howth, towards the ruins of St. Mary's Abbey and Graveyard, the Martello Tower, and Howth East Pier and Harbour Lighthouse. Continuing back towards the marina, we can observe the Yachts & Yacht Club as we make our way to the West Pier.
This area is home to a strip of fashionable restaurants and bars serving a variety of food, but most especially its renowned local seafood. With its relaxed atmosphere and charming stone buildings, it attracts locals and visitors alike. We can note the Harbour Master's House, several fishmongers, the trawlers, and the fishermen. The local seals are very friendly and come up to the harbour wall seeking fish from the fishermen. If lucky, they might be around on your visit. The tour finishes at the end of the West Pier. On a fine day, locals and visitors can be seen sitting around on the pier or grass chatting, enjoying the famous local fish & chips, or just having an ice cream.
Though the tour can take approximately 2 hours, it all takes place in a relatively small circular area.
