Howth Martello Tower
最佳游览时间
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.
预算提示
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.
推荐给
History buffs, Photography enthusiasts, Couples, Outdoor walkers

关于
快速信息: 大约29座像这样的矮胖圆形塔楼曾遍布爱尔兰东海岸，每座塔顶都有一个可旋转的炮台。约15名士兵的守军会挤在近3米厚的墙体内，靠存放在阴凉黑暗底层房间里的补给生存。
亮点: 屋顶的火炮可将24磅重的炮弹发射到海湾对岸一英里开外，而弯曲的石质外壳则被设计成能吸收炮弹冲击而不坍塌。黄昏时分站在顶上，你会听到海鸥在涌浪上空尖鸣，而下方港口的灯光正逐一亮起。
内部小贴士
- 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.
