HOWTH AUDIO TOURS

Explore the UNESCO Biosphere of Dublin Bay.

Discover Howth Harbour. Get a feeling for the working piers and the bustling life of this ancient port.

The waves of Irish history have always washed over Howth and the sea is our timeless, sometimes unforgiving companion.

You’ll be walking for about 90 minutes, and while the surfaces are generally hard, they are sometimes uneven.

By the end, you’ll have a personal sense of Ireland, the island, and how we have lived here for 8,000 years.

• The everyday bustle of our busy fishery harbour

• The 800-year-old Abbey with its battlemented walls

• The development of Christianity from the time of St Patrick

• How the Tuatha De Danann, the Celts, the Vikings, the Normans and the Anglo Irish are linked to Howth Harbour
