Saint Sylvester's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 63 ydExplorer Tom Saint Sylvester's Catholic Church in Malahide has an unlikely celebrity friend, maybe a very tall priest from the 90s? It’s got a spire that looks like it’s trying to escape. Pack a picnic and an excuse.
cobbles/flags/paving/kerbing65 ydExplorer Tom Malahide’s kerbing is old enough to remember when the matchmaker was actually useful for finding partners. It’s just granite pretending it’s not tired of being stepped on. Go on a wet day; it suits the mood perfectly.
Welcome To MalahideVisitor information · 197 ydExplorer Tom Welcome To Malahide in County Dublin is waving at you. It thinks it’s a big deal, but it’s just a sign with some fancy font on it, nothing more.

Casino Model Railway MuseumMuseum · 285 ydExplorer Tom Casino Model Railway Museum in County Dublin has trains that go nowhere fast. It's in Malahide and smells like old wood and ambition. Watch the tiny wheels spin for me!
Malahide DemesneVisitor information · 893 ydExplorer Tom Malahide Demesne is a big green space that pretends to be wild. It’s really just mowed grass with a bit of history mixed in for flavor.
Malahide Castle Demesne Church (Ruin)Ruins · 979 ydExplorer Tom Malahide Castle Demesne Church is a ruin that lost its congregation long ago. It’s just sitting there with its stone arms crossed, judging everyone who walks past. Tell it the service was great last time!
Malahide BeachBeach / strand · 1256 ydExplorer Tom Malahide Beach in County Dublin is bragging about Hick’s Tower. Tell the tower to stop acting like Napoleon is still landing. It’s just a beach now, relax and let the sand settle.
MoatCastle, motte and bailey · 1729 ydExplorer Tom Castle in Saggart is one of three mentioned in a civil survey, but nobody can find it for the life of them. The vicars choral had one, so it’s likely just hiding because it doesn't want to be found. Get there early and have it all to yourself.
Black WoodWood · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Black Wood in County Dublin has a picture of a smoky tavern floor, not actual trees at all. I think someone got confused between wood as in timber and wood as in forest. Go check it out and take a picture for me to see what you found.
Donabate BeachBeach / strand · 1.5 miExplorer Tom Donabate Beach in County Dublin shows the mountains in the distance. It’s showing off its view. Tell it to focus on the sand, not just trying to look scenic like a postcard.

The Southern Cross MonumentMonument · 1.8 miExplorer Tom The Southern Cross Monument in County Dublin celebrates a guy who flew across the Atlantic on a beach, which sounds like a great plan until you remember how many things could have gone wrong with that plane.
Martello Tower2.5 miExplorer Tom Martello Tower in Balcarrick in County Dublin armed itself with a 24-pounder in 1805, which is basically medieval tech for stopping Napoleon's imaginary zombies. Bring a notebook and write the bit I made up about its gun collection.
