GilmossHouse · 17 ydExplorer Tom Gilmoss in Sutton South has turrets and an ornate veranda from around 1900. It looks like it’s trying to be a fairy tale but with sprocketed tiles. Take a pic of the decorative gable for me, yeah?
SlieverueHouse · 38 ydExplorer Tom Slieverue in Sutton South has Dutch gables and fishscale tiles that look like a Victorian fish market exploded. It’s bowing to the wind, probably from all that 1890 drama. Look up, the best bit is always higher than you think.
Graveyard629 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Graveyard in Sutton South has been expanded so much it looks like it’s trying to swallow the whole townland. The oldest part dates back to 1189, which is when people started having opinions about where to put their dead. Spot the oldest stone and give it a name that sounds fancy.
St Fintans Church (in ruins)Ecclesiastical enclosure · 635 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom St Fintans Church: This tiny oratory is shoved awkwardly into the center of its circular bank. It looks so eccentrically placed that I’d bet the original priests were quite confused about where to stand during services.
Shielmartin HillMountain / peak · 1127 ydExplorer 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.
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.

National Transport MuseumMuseum · 1.1 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.
Howth HeadCoastal headland · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Howth Head in County Dublin is a massive peninsula sticking out into the Irish Sea. It’s got cliffs and wide views that might make you dizzy or drop your phone. Take a pic of the edge for me!
Ben of HowthMountain / peak · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Ben of Howth in County Dublin gives you a view of Portmarnock and Malahide from the northwest. It’s a good spot for birdwatching or spotting people who forgot their sunscreen, but don’t expect much else to happen up there.
Burrow BeachBeach / strand · 1.4 miExplorer 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.
St Mary's AbbeyGraveyard · 1.6 miExplorer Tom St Mary's Abbey has seen kings and monks, so it’s bound to be full of dramatic stories. Listen for the echoes of old debates.
Howth Cliff Path LoopWalking route · 1.6 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Howth Cliff Path Loop in County Dublin is another loop from the station. It’s probably windy enough to blow your hair into your eyes. Take a picture of the dramatic sky for me!
