Howth Castle is
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 Deer Park Hotel and golf course.
