Hiking

From the train station, it is a popular tour to walk to the lighthouse and back again. From there you can see the ships coming in and out.
The lighthouse dates from 1817.

Hiking

The Lighthouse in Howth Harbor is a historic navigational aid, located on the eastern pier of the harbour. It was built in the early 19th century to help guide ships into the newly constructed harbour, which served as the terminus for the parcel service between Ireland and England. In 1982 it was decommissioned and replaced by a modern post lamp on an adjacent extension of the pier.
