This was so helpful! I’m going tomorrow :)
Glad to hear it was helpful! Enjoy your time there!
Hey abandon you didn't really visit the cliffs, they extent for about 4 miles around the cliff path and provide a 360 degree iew of Dublin Bay, also as far As I'm aware Corr Castle is still there among the newly built apartments. But overall top review from a Howth man, thank you.
I bet that view with the cliffs is stunning. and makes sense with corr castle. Thank you for this insight and thank you for tuning in!
A trip south to Killiney and walk over the park to Dalkey has some great views..Beshoffs Bros are great for fish and chips ..couple of outlets in town too..
thanks for the suggestions. hopefully I can make it soon!
it;s an easterly wind today obviously ...and we get easterly wind very frequently every year..and the tide comes in over the pier with easterly gales...Howth is where I was born and bred and up from the big hill to the cliffs is where my family home is .. My father and uncles were all fidhermen in Howth ,,unfortunately our government sold out our fishing industry to the E.U in the 1970's and therefore there are hardly any fishing boats in Howth nowadays....when I was young Howth was a fishing village with roughly 40/50 vessels in the harbour... now you are lucky to find 8/9...instead of being a fidhing village it is now a tourist village...
at around 5.50, on your video, you can see the remains if an open air swimming pool which is 2 mins from my famiy home...we used to spend all the Summer down there swimming ,,unfortunately in the 90's the steps to that pool collapsed into the sea so now inaccesible
and Landon dear you never even got to the cliffs , a pity , as the real cliffs are a walk on to the end of that road and then you walk around the cliffs to the Dublin Bay side ,,and see all of Dublin and South county Dublin all laid out before you ,, and it would have taken you about an hour to do the real cliffs,..you missed out on this...
Howth Castle used always be open to the public, up to the hotel but last year it was sold to a developer ..so now they are trying to restrict people from entering .....behind the hotel are huge Rhododendron woods which when they are in bloom are astonishing ..one of the previous owenrs of the castle used to travel all around the world ( in the 19th century) and collect specimens of Rhododendra,,,and planted them up there on the hill...so there are specimens up there that are very rare...
yes the way the Irish pronounce Howth is the correct way ,,in fact one of the earliest settlements in Howth was Greek ,,, Ptolemy's map calls Howth 'Edros' meaning base/landing place ..and this would have been from the 300 BC., maybe even earlier...
the remains of Corr Castle ( a keep ) is in there , but as it is a gated community you do not have access to it en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corr_Castle
at 8,50 you see the ruins of '' the old abbey '' which has been there since the first abbey founded by viking King Sitrygg in 1042..the ruins you see there now are from the 15th century and my grandparents and uncles and aunts are buried there.
on good calm days (in winter) and all summer you can get boat trips from the end of the west pier ( with all the restaurants ) to the island Ireland's Eye ) or even a trio around the head of Howth across Dublin BAy to either Dublin city centre or to Dunlaoghaire on the opposite side....
you really only saw about one third of Howth ,, you missed the Summit, where one part of the cliff walk brings you out ,with a 360degree vista of Dublin county north and south
maybe you coukd come back some time and do the other half of Howth ....
wow thank you for all of this insight!!! I really appreciate this! this is all things I never knew and incredibly fascinating relating from history, culture, and today. I will definitely use everything you’ve said the next time I’m back (especially all of the rest of Howth I need to see 😊)
that swimming pool was called the stake..used to go night swimming there in the summer of course..they had lights around it like hanging bulbs back in the 80s when we were there and night fishing
@@richardcray2919 wow that seems awesome!
Hey - just a few things make sure not to confuse them when talking about trains. The DART is what takes you to howth not the train!
You can visit Howth Castle (Deer Park for directions) which was used in the first Dracula movie ever made.
You can take a 30 minute walk up to the summit and have a view of the entire coastline of Dublin too!
Kudos for pronouncing Howth correctly too!
oh wow was it really used in the first Dracula movie? wow, that is awesome! I would have loved to see it then. I guess I just didn’t look hard enough. and wow, I wish I did that walking to the summit. that would have been such an amazing view.
I think I put the regular train b-roll instead of the dart train footage I had. good point, it’s an important distinction.
and thank you for all of this insight! 😊
There is always next time!
But yeah, some really cool history in Howth!@@landonkissell
@@maxcody5040 definitely! One of my friends is in Dublin right now and asked for recommendations and I made such to say Howth is a must
I was walking along the edge of the Howth Cliffs years ago, wearing a pair of wood soled sandals. I hit my foot against a rock and fell. I was caught on a small ledge filled with nettles, six more inches and I would have fallen to the rocks below. I crawled along the edge until I reached the stairs carved in the cliff. That night, I went with friends to see a double feature of LaStrada and the Virgin Spring. I thought about going back to Howth and jumping off. In actuality I rode my bike from Rathmines to Howth all the time. The place is gorgeous. I rode that bike all over Ireland while I was in grad school in Dublin.
wow I am glad you are okay! That could have been very dangerous, especially with the rocks below. That seems like a traumatizing experience and I am sorry you had to go through that!
You are absolutely right. Howth is stunning. I bet that ride from Rathmines to Howth is very nice (far too!). Biking across Ireland seems very cool!
@@landonkissell I still am amazed that the momentum didn’t send me off that little ledge. Thank God for nettles.
@@nbenefiel the amount of horror stories I've heard about the conditions at Howth. Glad you are okay!
@@landonkissell I think the double feature of LaStrada and the Virgin Spring were more traumatic. Those have to have been two of the most depressing films ever made.
@@nbenefiel haha were those actually? I’ve never seen them before
Landon, are you from Atlanta? You are wearing the Altanta United beanie hats 😛
I am a HUGE Atlanta United fan. I never a match. Was born there but I live in New York today. Are you also an ATL UTD supporter?
We have a fiord in ireland on the west coast not as spectacular as norway but still spectacular its called killary harbour.Never heard british people say howth at all very much doubt they know it exists.Your correct in your assumption that howth is upmarket as for buying a house there absolutely astronomical.The average price of a house in dublin that is county dublin not just the city is 500 000 euros so in howth its going be atleast twice that. at the very least.
I just looked up pictures of killary harbour and it look so beautiful. Also do you think the Cliffs of Moher are actually worth it? Or is it more of just a touristy thing?
And wow so those are million euro homes. I understand why. Those who are able to afford it are incredibly lucky
@@landonkissell I have always thought the cliffs of moher were over rated before i looked at a video and realised i was looking at wrong.where they have the visitors center and the viewing tower is very underwhelming but a few miles north of the viewing tower it looks much better.However still think slieve league in donegal is much better but its a lot harder to get to and people say the kerry cliffs are great aswell though i was never there myself.A local farmer does a tour of the cliff trail his name is pat sweeney i recommend you that when you come but you need to stay in the area as you wouldn't be able to do it on a day trip from dublin
@@gallowglass2630 I’ve always thought that there were better places on the island than the cliffs of Moher (although I’ve never been, I just formed that opinion based on pictures). The picture online of Slieve League look amazing. But yeah it does look way more difficult to get to.
Speaking of natural landscape, one day I would love to make it to Killarney National Park and explore all of Kerry County. There are actually direct flights from New York to Kerry, which surprised me but shows that there is high demand for people to visit
@@landonkissell Well actually the prices are not as high as i thought but they are three roomed cottages there for 500 000 euros for which you need to be earning atleast 150 000 to afford .Most people rent in dublin nowadays only in the north of the county and the surrounding counties is home ownership a realistic ambition
@@gallowglass2630 what about the rest of the country? I assume that’s mainly all outright home ownership? With maybe the exception of the city centres in the other cities
Cant believe people still are walking down the pier when the waves are like that, its so dangerous !
you are very right about that when waves are that rough
Landon when are you coming to London UK? I mean coming back lol
I hope really soon (maybe this summer). I need to come back because the last time I was there was before I was creating video so I definitely need to vlog from the city
Landon, does the tram leave from Connelly station?
Yes! It is incredibly easy. Right from Connolly and 27 minutes later you are in the heart of Howth
@@landonkissell thank you!!!
@@littlerobc1 of course!
The tram or the Luas which its called leaves from connolly but does not go to howth.There was a tram once to howth,but not since the 50s landon took the Dart train to howth which is just as convenient but its not a tram as such and its not part of main train line ,its a suburban/urban overground service.
Landon, I've been sharing your list for Belfast still having come across it. Can you please tag me in it. thx man. 🙌
video on Belfast coming out March 15th. will let you know when it is out. looking forward to you watching it! 👏
@@landonkissell brilliant my friend looking forward 2 it. 💯👍
