Follow the Lower Cliff Loop (Loop 2A).

A worthwhile stop while doing the Howth Cliff Walk. Laid out in 1943 this was one of 83 Eire signs to let German bombers know they were approaching neutral Irish territory during World War II. It has recently been restored.

Very serene, especially when considering why it was put there in the first place
