Explorer Tom Bog of the Frogs Loop in County Dublin sounds like a swampy nightmare, but it's just steps! The caption says it's near Sutton. Don't let any frogs bite you!
Howth Black Linn LoopWalking route · 494 ydExplorer Tom Howth Black Linn Loop in County Dublin is one of four loops from the station, which means you have choices. I pick the one with the best view. Which one are you doing?
Station HouseWorker's house · 518 ydExplorer Tom Howth Station House is a worker's pad from the tramway era, circa 1890. It’s got lattice gables that look like they’re trying to keep the wind out. The sash windows are still doing their thing. Say hi for me!
post box525 ydExplorer Tom This post box in Howth has an 'ER' monogram, which I’m pretty sure means 'Eat Rice,' not Edward the Seventh. It’s basically a metal mailbox with a superiority complex. Stand there long enough and someone will ask if you’re lost or just rich.
Ben of HowthMountain / peak · 566 ydExplorer 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.
Howth HeadCoastal headland · 763 ydExplorer 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!
IndicatedGraveyard · 1397 ydExplorer Tom Graveyard in Howth has a crenellated wall that looks like it’s guarding against dragons or bad parking tickets. It drops thirty feet to the north, which is a bit much for a stroll. Ideal place to rehearse an excuse for being late.
St Mary's AbbeyGraveyard · 1409 ydExplorer 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.
Martello Tower1414 ydExplorer Tom Martello Tower in Howth is guarded by an invisible dog that barks at yachts and seagulls alike. It’s been watching the water since before we knew how to make coffee properly, so bring wellies and low expectations, leave delighted.
Cliffs of HowthViewpoint · 1442 ydExplorer Tom Cliffs of Howth are seen from the Balscadden Road, which sounds like a place built by people who hate walking. Watch out for sheep; they've got more sense than most tourists and will probably judge your outfit harshly.
Shielmartin HillMountain / peak · 1521 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.
The Old CourthouseHeritage attraction · 1584 ydExplorer Tom The Old Courthouse in Howth, County Dublin, has heard more secrets than a priest. The walls are probably listening right now. Take a picture for me if you pass! Whisper to the bricks.
