Discover Howth Castle Estate and Coastal Fishing Village
About this experience
Step back in time and explore the historic coastal village of Howth, where centuries of history, legend and maritime life come together. This guided walk begins in lively Howth Harbour, home to colourful fishing boats, famous seafood shops and the harbour’s curious seals. Along the pier you’ll discover the story behind King George IV’s footprints, left here during his memorable visit in 1821. We then wander through the charming streets of the old village before entering the beautiful Howth Castle Estate, home to the St Lawrence family for over 800 years. Hidden within the estate lies Aideen’s Grave, an ancient tomb linked to Irish mythology and the legendary love story of Aideen and the warrior Oscar. The journey continues to the historic Martello Tower, built during the Napoleonic Wars to defend Dublin Bay, where spectacular views stretch across the sea to Ireland’s Eye, an island rich in wildlife, ruins and local legend.
