Drive to Malahide via the North
Dublin coast road taking in picturesque views of Howth surrounding
areas. The Howth peninsula is situated at the north end of Dublin
bay, 15kms from the city centre. The name Howth is derived from
the Danish word 'hoven', which means head and it is picturesque
fishing village with an abundance of pubs and restaurants and
plenty of places to stroll.
Malahide, which means "on the brow of the sea”, is
a village nine miles north of Dublin. The castle is close to the
village and is built on a small rise, which commands a view of
the bay. There are many magnificent oaks, chestnuts and sycamores
dating to the days of the Tudors
Malahide is a 12th century castle; one of Ireland’s oldest
and most historic with excellent collection of period furniture,
oil portraits. The castle belonged to the Talbot family from 1185
to 1976 when it was sold to Dublin County Council. The castle
itself is a combination of styles and periods; the medieval Great
Hall is the only one in Ireland that is preserved in its original
form while the National Portrait Gallery features many fine portraits
of the Talbot family and 18th and 19th Irish Notables.
