Location and access
Howth is at the end of a regional road from Dublin City and is one of the northern termini of the DART suburban rail system. The village of Howth itself spans most of the northern part of Howth Head, a peninsula which is connected to the rest of Dublin via a narrow strip of land (or tombolo) at nearby Sutton. In the past, Howth could become isolated from the mainland during stormy weather and high tides.
