Howth Martello Tower
Najboljši čas za obisk
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.
Nasveti za proračun
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.
Priporočeno za
History buffs, Photography enthusiasts, Couples, Outdoor walkers

O znamenitosti
Hitre informacije: Približno 29 nizkih okroglih stolpov, kakršen je ta, je nekoč raztresenih po vzhodni obali Irske, vsak z vrtljivo ploščadjo za topove. Posadke s približno 15 vojaki so se stiskale v notranjosti s skoraj 3 metre debelimi stenami in preživele na zalogah, shranjenih v hladnem, temnem spodnjem prostoru.
Poudarki: Topovi na strehi so lahko vrgli topovsko kroglo s 24 funti več kot miljo daleč čez zaliv, vendar je bil ukrivljeni kamniti ovoj zasnovan tako, da je absorbiral zadetke brez drobljenja. V mraku stojte na vrhu in slišali boste galebe, ki kričijo nad valovi, medtem ko se spodaj prižigajo pristaniške luči.
Notranji nasveti
- 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.
