Howth Martello Tower
Waktu terbaik untuk berkunjung
Late afternoon in summer, when low sun turns the stone gold and the harbour empties of day-trippers. Mornings on the coast can be damp and windy, so pick a forecast with clear skies.
Tips anggaran
The tower exterior and pier are free to wander at any hour, which is exactly what most visitors do. Watch for Heritage Week open days and local festival tours if you want to step inside, usually for just a few euro.

Tentang
Fakta cepat: Sekitar 29 menara bundar pendek seperti ini pernah tersebar di pesisir timur Irlandia, masing-masing berpuncak platform meriam yang dapat berputar. Garnisun sekitar 15 prajurit berdesakan di dalam dinding setebal hampir 3 meter, bertahan dengan persediaan yang disimpan di ruang bawah yang sejuk dan gelap.
Sorotan: Meriam di atap mampu melontarkan peluru seberat 24 pon sejauh lebih dari satu mil melintasi teluk, namun cangkang batu melengkungnya dirancang untuk menyerap hantaman meriam tanpa runtuh. Berdirilah di puncak saat senja dan Anda akan mendengar burung camar berteriak di atas ombak sementara lampu-lampu pelabuhan berkelip di bawah.
Tips orang dalam
- Wear sturdy shoes and a windproof layer, gusts whip straight off the Irish Sea even on warm days.
- Frame the tower from the western harbour wall at sunset for the classic shot with open water behind it.
- Make it the launch point for the cliff path toward the lighthouse, the best walk in the area starts right here.
- Arrive before 10am on summer weekends, the Dart brings big crowds by mid-morning.
