Howth head is a wonderful uncluttered nature friendly place to walk and swim in its beautiful coves such as at Redrock
which, by the way would be called Golden Rock because of the colour of the stones if it was anywhere but among the deprecating
Dubliners.
There is a narrow tortuous hill top path 'facilitating' access to the sea all along the coast to the Bailey lighthouse
and allowing the walker to communicate with the wild and domesticated flora and fauna far from the 'madding' crowd.
It was on the hills of Howth that Molly finally said
"yes, yes, yes,...." to Leopald Bloom according to James Joyce in Ulysses.
