Explore Howth
Howth has been a prosperous fishing village for hundreds (if not thousands) of years. As a strategic headland, it was invaded by Vikings and was the location of many battles as different groups fought to possess it. Now it's a desirable upmarket seaside retreat where golfers and rock-stars rub shoulders with long-standing fishing families. Enjoy 75 minutes of free time to explore Howth and perhaps take the opportunity to sample some of Dublin's finest seafood!
