The wood carvings at Howth Harbour are a series of sculptures created by the talented Irish woodcarver Richie Clarke, commissioned by Fingal County Council. These carvings highlight Howth’s deep connection to maritime life. The sculptures include a mermaid, a fisherman gathering nets, and a beautifully designed dragon-head boat's bow, symbolizing the rich fishing tradition of the area. The works add artistic depth to the harbour and reflect both Howth’s maritime heritage and Clarke’s influences from Irish mythology and history.

Beautiful to look at! If you walk from the train station toward the cliff path, look to your right :)
