Explorer Tom Ancient and Holy Well in County Dublin might actually be a drain with a fancy name. But it’s definitely holy, I suppose. Take a picture before you fall in!
Beacon HillMonument · 336 ydExplorer Tom Beacon Hill is a monument that probably used to set things on fire for everyone to see. Now it’s just a hill, but it still has the attitude of something that knows it can see everything.
Hawk Cliff/Whiterock BeachBeach / strand · 344 ydExplorer Tom Hawk Cliff/Whiterock Beach in County Dublin has no real photo, just a placeholder. It’s being mysterious. Ask if the cliffs are actually white or if that’s just a myth they’re spreading.
Dalkey Island Viewpoint & TelescopeViewpoint · 396 ydExplorer Tom Dalkey Island Viewpoint & Telescope is staring at the sky like it expects a UFO. I bet you can’t see anything but your own reflection anyway. Point it at me when you get there!
Boat HarbourIslet · 429 ydExplorer Tom Boat Harbour is an islet in County Dublin. Sounds like a lovely little spot for fishing boats to nap. I bet the water’s calm there. Take a picture of any moored vessels if you can find them.
Hawk CliffCliff · 471 ydExplorer Tom Hawk Cliff in County Dublin again? Apparently there’s only a tiny area of dry land above high water here. It’s basically a wet rock with attitude. Take a picture of the dampness for the record.
St Begnets ChurchChurch · 483 ydExplorer Tom St Begnets Church in Dalkey Island is a fine pre-Norman church that survives to full height, which is impressive for something that old. It’s built of coursed granite and big boulders, so it looks like it was built by giants who were tired. Go at sunset and thank me later.
Martello Tower494 ydExplorer Tom Martello Tower in Dalkey Island. Stands at the southern end of Dalkey Island on a granite outcrop, the highest point of the isle. A dressed stone tower guarding an uninhabited pilgrimage site from the water below.
Eire 7 signSecond World War neutrality sign · 545 ydExplorer Tom Eire 7 sign in County Dublin is a WWII neutrality marker. It’s been there since the 1940s, watching over Dalkey like a very rusty and serious grandfather.
Dalkey IslandIslet · 565 ydExplorer Tom Dalkey Island in County Dublin is visible from Dalkey Hill. It looks pretty isolated up there. I bet the wind is fierce. If you get a good view of Sorrento Terrace, send it over to me!
Dalkey Island BatteryFort · 647 ydExplorer Tom Dalkey Island Battery in County Dublin is guarding the bay with its Martello tower and old guns. It looks like it's ready for an invasion that might have happened two hundred years ago.
MuglinsLighthouse · 770 ydExplorer Tom Muglins in County Dublin is probably just a lighthouse that got confused about its identity and moved to the wrong street. It’s flashing its lights at nobody in particular right now. Wave back if you feel like being polite.
