Howth is a tidy well kept village, more like a small town, with lots of car parking spaces

The Howth station pub called the 'Bloody Stream'

Now that's a good use for the old station buildings at Howth, a pub bar and restaurant! but no time for a 'stop' now, so we press onto the harbour except when there is a Howth Sunday Market! Seafood bar and cafe

Appropriately, by the Howth Angling Centre and fish market offer a huge variety of local produce from fresh fish to delicious organic vegetables

... and still some boat repairs carried out ...

.... and on your way to it you pass a four sided 'sculpture' with many maritime images near the quayside of Howth harbour!

	Howth Town, harbour and cliff walk, North County Dublin, Ireland: Mauds Cafe is a very good tea-coffee venue near the busy yacht and fishing boat harbour of Howth Village, north of Dublin, Ireland. The island of Ireland's Eye can be viewed from the breakwater of Howth harbour which is always busy with yachts and fishing boats. Good food, coffee and icecream!
There are several fish and chip shops in the village of Howth but you can catch your own fish like the seals do in Howth Harbour.
	Beshoff's traditional Fish and Chips is also just down the road from the harbour. It provides a most welcome refreshment after walking from Sutton Cross to Howth all the way round on the cliff walk. Beshoff's have now opened a seafood restaurant cum oyster bar cum fishmonger cum fish market along with other cafes and shops between the station and harbour.
	The Abbey Tavern (restaurant and pub) is on the road just below ruins of Howth Abbey, which overlooks the harbour. It provides a great night out of lively entertainment, including traditional music and hearty meals including good fish food.
	'The Bloody Scream' Seafood Bar, Cafe and Restaurant near the harbour is built into the old station buildings of Howth Station but the DART station is still open!
