Appraisal

Victoria Terrace and the adjoining terrace are large terraces which dominate the coastline of Laytown. These sea-facing terraces became popular during the late nineteenth century, when the arrival of the railway made the coast more accessible. There are a number of these terraces along the strand at Bettystown and Laytown. This terrace displays architectural design and detail.
