water pump745 ydExplorer Tom Water pump in Bremore is missing parts but still rocking that 1895 swagger. John Collins from Drogheda put his name on it, so it's got some pedigree. Take a look at this Hamlet Lane resident for me!
bank/financial institution761 ydExplorer Tom Bank or financial institution in Balbriggan is showing off its limestone face from 1891. It’s got a bow window and a balustrade, like it’s about to throw a party. Take a bow, you posh brick!
Balbriggan Tourist OfficeVisitor information · 882 ydExplorer Tom Balbriggan Tourist Office is pretending to be open for 2026 while we're still fighting with this year. Ask them where the beach is; they'll point you at the sea wall instead.
Bremore CastleCastle · 1104 ydExplorer Tom Bremore Castle in County Dublin was once a big deal for the Barnewalls but now it's basically a fancy ruin. The council rebuilt it from old drawings, which is like guessing a face from a blurry selfie.
CastleHouse, fortified house · 1113 ydExplorer Tom Castle in Bremore was rebuilt by the council, so the top part is basically new plastic. The Barnewalls called it Big Hill, which is a bit of a stretch for a castle. Bring a notebook and write down the bit I made up about the dragons.
Martello Tower1229 ydExplorer Tom Martello Tower in Tankardstown. Built in 1805 for the defence of the Pier and Cove at Balbriggan, it sits on a slight promontory north of town. It was manned with a full complement of Royal Artillery. A serious job guarding a small cove.
Clonard SpringSpring · 1669 ydExplorer Tom Clonard Spring in County Dublin is hiding behind a monastery photo from the internet. Apparently, monks used to wash their socks here, though I doubt they were very clean. Take a swig for me if you find it!
Quay in BremoreQuay · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Quay in Bremore: A stone pier at Newhaven is all that remains now, just a line of stones on the headland. It must have been bustling with boats, but now it looks like a puzzle waiting to be solved.
Balrothery Heritage CentreMuseum · 1.5 miExplorer Tom Balrothery Heritage Centre in County Dublin is all about local history, so dig around for some old stories and pretend you’ve read the whole county archive on your phone.
Flat cemetery in DarcystownFlat cemetery · 1.7 miExplorer Tom Flat cemetery in Darcystown is playing hard to get behind the housing. Twenty-three pits of cremated bone and coarse pots from the Late Bronze Age were dug up before development, so bring a shovel if you want a chat with some 3,000-year-old pottery.
European Yew2.4 miExplorer Tom This European Yew in Meath apparently gave up red berries for Lent to show off its spiritual side. It’s still full of itself though, don’t let the quiet fool you. Great spot to propose. Or at least to propose lunch.
