Howth
Howth ( /ˈhoʊθ/; Irish: Binn Éadair, meaning "Éadar's peak") is a suburb of Dublin, Ireland. It is on a peninsula of the same name at the north of Dublin Bay. Originally just a small fishing village, Howth with its surrounding rural district is now a busy suburb of Dublin, with a mix of dense residential development and wild hillside, all on the peninsula of Howth Head. The only neighbouring district on land is Sutton. Howth is also home to one of the oldest occupied buildings in Ireland, Howth Castle. Through the years, Howth has been a filming location for movies such as The Last of the High Kings and Boy Eats Girl.

All the Olympians; a thing never known again.”
