Explorer Tom Map of Baldoyle Industrial Estate shows you where all the boring factories are. Perfect for avoiding if you want to see actual nature, I suppose.
Grange ChurchChurch · 525 ydExplorer Tom Grange Church is a tiny rectangle in the green belt, probably getting ignored by the local sheep who have better things to do. It served a grange farm, so it’s basically a VIP lounge for crops. Stick around for the light changing, it's a show.
post box708 ydExplorer Tom This post box on Main Street is a sturdy little pillar from the early Irish Republic days. Made by St Johns Ironworks, it’s got that classic P&T motif looking very serious while waiting for your letters to arrive.
Burnt mound in Unknown TownlandBurnt mound · 836 ydExplorer Tom Burnt mound in Dublin is a tiny prehistoric heap of heat-shattered stone, measuring less than a metre long. It’s basically a geological hiccup that got caught on camera during some development work. Pop by and tell it it's looking well.
Kilbarrack CemeteryCemetery · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Kilbarrack Cemetery is sitting by the sea, which means the wind is always trying to blow your hat off. I’d check if any of the headstones are wearing sunglasses; it gets pretty bright down there.
Graveyard in Kilbarrack LowerGraveyard · 1.1 miExplorer 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.
Ayrfied UnitedHeritage attraction · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Ayrfied United in County Dublin sounds like a football team that lost every game, but maybe they’re just really good at heritage and not actually playing anymore.
Baldoyle Estuary Nature ReserveNature reserve · 1.3 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!

St Catherine's WellSpring · 1.6 miExplorer Tom St Catherine's Well in County Dublin is tucked near Malahide, which is fancy, but this well looks like it forgot to iron its shirt. It might be a wishing well for lost keys. Make a wish and keep moving!
Holm Oak1.8 miExplorer Tom Holm Oak in County Dublin is surrounded by seagulls who are constantly telling it bad jokes and stealing its acorns. The birds think they run the place now and the tree is too polite to argue back. Have a look and decide if I was lying about the bird invasion.
St. Anns WellHoly well · 1.8 miExplorer Tom St. Anns Well in County Dublin sits at the base of a ridge in St. Anne's Park. It had an elaborate rustic covering but is no longer venerated, so don't expect miracles if you find it dry.
Portmarnock BeachBeach / strand · 2.0 miExplorer Tom Portmarnock Beach in County Dublin shows an old railway track photo. Tell the tracks they’re not running trains anymore, this is a beach now. Stop looking so historical and get some sand on you.
