Howth Road is a significant route that loops inland through the charming village of Raheny, located in Dublin, Ireland. This road is home to a variety of architectural curiosities and historical landmarks that make Raheny a place of interest for visitors and travellers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the key features of Raheny is its train station. Raheny railway station serves the DART suburban railway system and the Dublin-Belfast main line, making it a convenient hub for those wishing to explore the wider area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the heart of Raheny, you\u2019ll find the ruins of St. Assam\u2019s Church. This historic church, now a ruin, was rebuilt in 1712 and is locally known as \u201cthe old Protestant church\u201d. Its presence adds a touch of historical charm to the village.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another unique feature of Raheny is the \u201cDoh-Ray-Mee\u201d cottages, also known as Crescent Cottages. These 18th-century houses, built in a semi-circle, were constructed for workers on the then Bank of Ireland governor\u2019s estate. Their unusual layout and historical significance add to the character of Raheny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Church of Our Lady Mother of Divine Grace (what a long name) is another notable landmark in Raheny. This church serves as the local Roman Catholic community\u2019s primary place of worship. All masses are transmitted via webcam, making it a modern place of worship that still retains its traditional charm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lastly, All Saints\u2019 Church is the Church of Ireland Parish Church of Raheny. This church, built in 1889, is quite a dominant presence in Raheny village. It replaced the historic St. Assam\u2019s church, the ruins of which can still be seen in the village today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In summary, Raheny, with its rich history, architectural curiosities, and convenient transport links, offers a unique blend of the old and the new, making it a fascinating place for any visitor or traveller to explore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
