Beskrivning
There's a variety of seawatching and townscape. Seabirds fly in from Ireland's Eye and dive for fish. Some waders use the breakwater slopes. At the start of the road up the cliff (near the toilets), there's a sandstone cliff alive with backsvala in early summer. From the road and beyond the carpark, there will be sillgrissla and tobisgrissla visible on the sea. There's a nesting cliff with tretåig mås and tordmule. The upland urban area is known for spring migrants.
Difficulty varies from easy along the breakwater and harbourside to strenuous while climbing along the cliffside road and paths.
Detaljer
Tillgänglighet
Howth can be accessed by Dublin Bus, rail (DART) or car. If you go by car, parking will be a problem at weekends or holidays - try to arrive before 9:30am and park either by the toilets at the eastern breakwater or the higher one along the cliff road. Once there, best to explore on foot.
