Studenten des Dorset College Dublin Besuch Howth

This week's off campus trip took a group of Dorset College students on a 20 minute train journey to Howth Head on the North East Coast of County Dublin.

Howth Head (Ceann Binn Éadair in Gaelinn/Irish Langauge) was originally an island and is now connected to the mainland via a narrow strip of land, or tombolo, and forms the northerly bound of the great crescent of Dublin Bay roughly corresponding to Killiney Head in the South.

The appreciation of the surrounding beauty has been eternalised in many a painting, photo and prose.Perhaps most notably and suitably being in the lines of Dublin born James Joyce. Joyce's famous character of Leopold Bloom proposed to love interest Molly on Howth Head in Ulysses, Eveline me

The students trecked up to Howth Head in the sun,passing through the quaint fishing village,the luxurious boating marina and some curious seals at the pier edge.
