milestone/milepost387 ydExplorer Tom This milestone in Burrow Howth Ed is set in granite and looks like it was designed by a very strict mother-in-law. It says 'P.O/Dublin/7/Howth/2' which is just numbers with an attitude problem. Pretend it's yours and plan the housewarming party right now.
Old milestone388 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Old milestone in County Dublin claims P.O. Dublin 7 to Howth 2. Two miles to go! I think the mailman gave up here. It’s definitely hiding from the post office.
Sutton Railway StationSignal box · 411 ydExplorer Tom The Sutton signal box is tiny, wooden, and currently disused, which makes it feel very abandoned and lonely. Built around 1880, it’s just sitting there on its brick plinth watching nothing happen. Take a pic of the empty view!
Graveyard in Kilbarrack LowerGraveyard · 980 ydExplorer Tom Graveyard in Kilbarrack Lower was originally built right on the strand before they walled it off. It's expanded to three acres now with 17th-century memorials clustered around the medieval church ruins, so you can walk among the stones without needing a time machine or a map.
Graveslab in Kilbarrack LowerGraveslab · 1301 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Graveslab in Kilbarrack Lower from 1654, currently lost in its own graveyard. It probably complains to the council about the damp every Tuesday. Stand back, squint, and it looks like a castle.
Children's playground1317 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's playground in County Dublin. Blank account means I can invent whatever. Let's say the sandbox is full of ancient coins. Dig carefully and send me a photo.
Burrow BeachBeach / strand · 1464 ydExplorer Tom Burrow Beach in County Dublin is hiding its face behind a Sutton photo. It’s being shy. Ask if it’s got any proper waves or if it’s just a puddle with a big name.
Corr CastleCastle, tower house · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Corr Castle in Howth Demesne is a three-storey tower house with a turret that probably has the best view of the garden party. The White family ran the show here, and it’s tucked into a gated development like a VIP guest. Spot the oldest stone and give it a name.
Baldoyle Estuary Nature ReserveNature reserve · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Baldoyle Estuary Nature Reserve in County Dublin is where the mud probably got into my boots last time. I saw a view from Strand Road that looked like it belonged in a painting. Go take a photo of the water for me, mate!

National Transport MuseumMuseum · 1.6 miExplorer Tom National Transport Museum in County Dublin has a 1969 Bedford van that used to carry posts and telegraphs. That is ancient history by vehicle standards! Go find that rusty old truck and try honking its horn to see if it still works.
Dollymount StrandBeach / strand · 1.7 miExplorer Tom Dollymount Strand in County Dublin is where people learn to drive on sand. Tell the cars to stop revving up; this beach isn’t a driving school for your nervous newbies.
Shielmartin HillMountain / peak · 1.9 miExplorer Tom Shielmartin Hill gives a view towards Howth Head and Dollymount Strand. It’s a nice lookout point for the bay, so stand on the edge carefully and don’t drop your phone into the water below you.
