Don't let the name deceive you, there is noting here! The only thing on offer is the nearby lighthouse and stunning views of the Irish Sea.

Directions

Take the R105 from Dublin to Howth and when you reach the junction with the R106 turn right and drive almost to the other side of the island. Take the third right and park near to where a lane leads to the lighthouse. Walk down the lane marked 'private' towards the lighthouse and about 100m before you reach it climb up onto the bank to your left. That's where this place used to be.
