Family tree - St.Lawrence - Howth Castle |
|

Howth Castle was originally built 1464 (would be around time of 1st Baron Howth),
Howth Castle survives,
still in the family (through female line)
after 800 years,
making this possibly the oldest family home in Ireland.
The castle is not open to the public,
but the grounds are.
The castle is quite an extended complex of interlinked buildings,
of different ages,
on the way in to the golf course.
The
National Transport Museum of Ireland
is in the grounds.
See [Irish Country Houses].

"riverrun, past Eve and Adam's, from swerve of shore to bend
of bay, brings us by a commodius vicus of recirculation back to
Howth Castle and Environs."
