    Hi,

    What is the landmass visible from seapoint out on the Irish sea? I always assumed it was howth head (and still assume so) but it's straight ahead and it doesn't see to fit with maps of dublin? It comes out far east of the poolbeg chimneys for example. But I suppose it couldn't be anything else

    I'd say definitely Howth, unless you are talking about the Kish lighhouse.

    Lambay Island is visible from Seapoint, behind Howth. You would see it as a fainter land mass on the left shoulder of Howth where it begins to rise up from Sutton.

    I was in Wetherspoons in DL recently and a local there was convinced that it was the Isle of Man :) He must have have been in there a fair few hours

    You can see Welsh Mountains from top of Sugarloaf on a good day :)

    From some parts of South Co Dublin, Irelands Eye is visible behind Howth. And from high ground looking north, it is the Mountain of Mourne that you can see... on a good day!

    Snowdonia National park is clearly visible from Killiney early in the morning when the sun is rising on some mornings
