BohomerHouse · 484 yd

Explorer Tom Bohomer in Bohammer is a five-bay house from 1830 with a Doric porch. It’s got a uPVC conservatory on the side, which is definitely clashing with the historic vibe. The columns are trying their best to look Greek, I think!

Ring-ditch in SpringhillRing-ditch · 601 ydComputer-made picture

post box641 yd

Explorer Tom Post box in Kinsaley is mounted on the wall of Saint Nicholas' Boys National school with a 'VR' mark. It hears everything through the walls, mostly kids complaining about homework and teachers sighing deeply. Go back in winter, it's a different animal when everyone’s freezing.

Children's playground654 ydComputer-made picture

Old milestone732 ydComputer-made picture

St Catherine's WellSpring · 745 yd

Explorer 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!

CastleCastle, unclassified · 1533 yd

Explorer Tom Castle in Feltrim is Fagan’s place where an Earl got locked up under Elizabeth I. Legend says James II crashed here while running from the Boyne battle. It's the kind of place that makes a dull Tuesday feel like a historical thriller.

St. Marnocks Bay PlaygroundChildren's playground · 1.4 miComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom St. Marnocks Bay Playground in County Dublin sounds like a place where boats go to die. Access is unknown, so it might be underwater by now. Take a picture for me if you find dry land!

Strand Mill RuinsRuins · 1.7 mi

Explorer Tom Strand Mill Ruins in County Dublin is rotting away nicely. The photo says 'Rock Nook', so who knows what this actually is. Get me a shot of the rubble!

Malahide DemesneVisitor information · 1.8 mi

Airside Retail ParkVisitor information · 2.5 mi

Malahide BeachBeach / strand · 2.6 mi

Explorer 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.
