Howth

Howth (Binn Éadair, meaning 'Éadar's peak') is a village and outer suburb of Dublin, Ireland. The district as a whole occupies the greater part of the peninsula of Howth Head, which forms the northern boundary of Dublin Bay.

Howth has been settled since prehistoric times, and features in Irish mythology. A fishing village and small trading port from at least the 14th century, Howth has grown to become a busy and affluent suburb of Dublin, with a mix of suburban residential development, wild hillside and heathland, golf courses, cliff and coastal paths, a small quarry and a busy commercial fishing port. The only neighbouring district on land is Sutton.

Howth is also home to one of the oldest occupied buildings in Ireland, Howth Castle. Howth is also a civil parish in the ancient barony of Coolock.
