The purpose of my trip to Ireland this week was a visit to the Irish National Transport Museum at Howth (pronounced Hoath), but I found it to be a picturesque and historic little town and thought I would share these pictures.


Parts of the 15th century castle are now ruins, while other parts have been restored as a private residence.
