Attractions
Howth
Town : The commercial fishing town of Howth marks the northern limit
of Dublin Bay. Howth Head, a huge rocky mass, has lovely views of the
bay. A footpath runs around the tip of Howth Head which is known as the
"Nose" and the Baily lighthouse is quite close to this. To the
west of the town is Howth Castle, which dates back to Norman times. Its
grounds are particularly beautiful in May and June when the rhododendrons
and azaleas are in full bloom. Co Dublin
Powerscourt
Waterfall & Gardens : The gardens at Powerscourt are probably
the finest in Ireland, both for their design and their dramatic setting
at the foot of Great Sugar Loaf Mountain. Its star features The Perron-
a beautiful Italianate stairway, Triton Lake and the Japanese Gardens.
Also, about 5 kms from the gardens is the Powerscourt waterfall which
is Ireland's highest waterfall.
