10b. Howth to Sutton Cross scenic walk - Part 2 A diversion to Howth Abbey ruins Howth Abbey occupies the site of a church founded in 1042 by Sigtrygg, King of Dublin. This was replaced about 1235 by a new church founded by Luke, Archbishop of Dublin. The buildings seen now date from the late 14th or early 15th century.
In the lovely fishing village of Howth you can find the remains of Howth Abbey, here viewed from the Martello tower above the harbour (on the left of picture below).
The Abbey remains viewed from the graveyard overlooking Howth Harbour. Just below is the historic 'supposedly' 15th century Abbey Tavern, a great venue for an Irish night out, there are steps up to the Abbey entrance.
