Portmarnock Attractions
|
|
From Dublin's northeastern suburbs or from Howth the R106 leads to the little resort of Portmarnock, with its beautiful 2mi/3km long Velvet beach and well-known championship golf course.
St Doulagh's Church
1.25mi/2km west of Portmarnock we come to St Doulagh's Church (13th C.), with its original stone roof, a chapel and a battlemented tower (15th C.). Cells in the tower, over the chapel and in the crypt suggest that this may have been a community of hermits. In a field 110yd/100m northeast is St Doulagh's Well, in a stone-roofed octagonal well house.
