I’m back with more from Howth. The ruins of St. Mary’s Abbey dates back to 1042 when the area was ruled by King Sitric, a Viking king. The church was dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary. The original church was replaced around 1235 and then again in the 1300s.
After jetting from Howth, we headed to Malahide where we found a … Wait, I’ll keep that a surprise for now. Until next time.
I love these old churches. Can’t wait to see what you found.
Ireland has so many beautiful places to visit.
How the and Malahide (and Dundee Laoghoire) are so beautiful and so easy to get to from Dublin. Lovely to see your photos!
Very true. We had a lovely afternoon and it’s only about 15-20 minutes outside of Dublin.
A beautiful place.
It certainly is. And, it allows the imagination to go wild.
Dude! These pictures are great. I’m loving your adventures. I’m glad you’re exploring these old churches. I love to hear the history behind places like these. Hope you are well!
Thanks! I’m sending a big hello to you, your family, and the Pacific Ocean.
Wow, such gorgeous photos! Looking forward to hearing what you found in Malahide in a future post… 🙂
Thanks Heather!
Just made my desire to go to Ireland even stronger.
