Kilbarrack Cemetery

If you are ever on a 31 bus out to Howth, take care to keep an eye out towards the lefthand-​side of the Coast Road for Kilbarrack Cemetery (it is the only one in the area, so you’re unlikely to miss it).
At one time, Kilbarrack Cemetery was, alongside Glasnevin, one of the pricncipal cemeteries on the northside of Dublin, and was referred to as «the healthiest graveyard in Ireland» due to it’s proximity to the sea.
While Kilbarrack does not have the same pedigree in interrees as the more famous Glasnevin Cemetery, its residents do include Gaelic League and Irish Volunteers founder Eoin MacNeill, and songwriter Padraic Colum, whose compositions include «She Moves Through the Fair».
Don’t think me morbid, but the cemetery is actually very pleasant to take a stroll around, as its location renders it quite picturesque, there’s a ruined church, it’s rather nice for a graveyard, really.
