About Howth
Howth is a distinctive coastal village and peninsula on Dublin’s north side, within easy reach of the city but with a strong seaside and village identity. The area combines established residential streets, harbour activity, wooded slopes and open headland, with many homes enjoying access to coastal walks and sea views. Howth is well served for everyday family life, with local primary schools and nearby secondary options in Sutton, Bayside and Dublin’s northside suburbs. The DART provides a direct rail commute towards the city centre, while Dublin Bus routes connect the peninsula with Sutton, Raheny and central Dublin; the road network links onwards to Portmarnock and the M50. Harbour Road and the village centre offer cafés, seafood restaurants, traditional pubs, small shops and weekend visitor activity. Residents have easy access to Howth Harbour, the cliff paths, Deer Park, the National Transport Museum and Howth Castle grounds, alongside sailing, golf, GAA and other outdoor pursuits. The atmosphere is particularly lively at weekends, while quieter residential pockets retain a relaxed, community-focused feel.
