Chink WellHoly well · 82 ydExplorer Tom Chink Well: It’s a scooped hole in a rock inside a sea cave. High tide surrounds it, yet the water stays fresh and sweet. A very stubborn little spring!
Saint Ita's HospitalFolly · 449 ydExplorer Tom Saint Ita's Hospital has a folly, which is basically a round tower built just for laughs or grief. Sophia Evans designed it in memory of her husband George. It’s got a conical stone roof that looks like a giant mushroom. Take a picture of that battered profile!
Church (in ruins)Church · 1236 ydExplorer Tom Church in Portraine is St Catherine’s church, sitting in a walled graveyard near the coast. It has a battlemented west tower with Y-shaped tracery. Take a photo of that view for me!
Martello Tower1352 ydExplorer Tom Martello Tower in Balcarrick. John King rented this tower in 1896 and bought it in 1909, transforming a military post into a private home.
The Farmhouse 1722Memorial · 1430 ydExplorer Tom The Farmhouse 1722 in County Dublin has been sitting there since the early eighteenth century. It’s seen more ghosts than your local pub. Take a picture for me if you pass!
Donabate BeachBeach / strand · 1.8 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.
Rush South BeachBeach / strand · 1.8 miExplorer Tom Rush South Beach in County Dublin has a stream called Bride's coming in, which sounds like a holy woman doing her laundry. If you see her wringing out a sheet, wave politely but don't get too close.
Newbridge House and DemesneHeritage attraction · 2.7 miExplorer Tom Newbridge House and Demesne in County Dublin is in Donabate, which sounds like a place where people go to get away from it all. The demesne part means big grounds. Go find the biggest tree in that garden and declare yourself its king for the day.
Lanestown Castle in ruinsCastle, tower house · 3.1 miExplorer Tom Lanestown Castle in ruins holds a spiral stair and barrel vault, waiting quietly inside Newbridge House gates.

Casino Model Railway MuseumMuseum · 3.4 miExplorer 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!
Lambay IslandIsland · 3.6 miExplorer Tom Lambay Island is an island in County Dublin. Big enough to have a proper name. It looks like a great spot for a picnic if the weather holds. Take a pic of the coastline for me.
Thomas AsheMemorial · 4.2 miExplorer Tom Thomas Ashe in County Dublin is a memorial that definitely knows he’s important. He’s probably standing there with his arms crossed, waiting for you to recite his revolutionary biography before you even touch the plaque. Keep it brief, yeah?
