Kilbarrack Cemetery

Explorer 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.

Explorer Tom Church in Kilbarrack Lower has ruins from the 1200s and a tall tale about a tunnel to the pub that definitely isn't true. Ring your granny and tell her where you are so she can worry about you.

Explorer Tom Post Box in Kilbarrack Upper is showing off its Gaelic script like it knows a secret. It was made in Enniscorthy back in the fifties, so it’s had plenty of time to think about life. Wave at the little iron guy for me!

Explorer 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!

Explorer Tom Burrow Beach in County Dublin is hiding its face behind a Sutton photo. It’s being shy. Ask if it’s got any proper waves or if it’s just a puddle with a big name.

Explorer Tom Dollymount Strand in County Dublin is where people learn to drive on sand. Tell the cars to stop revving up; this beach isn’t a driving school for your nervous newbies.

Explorer Tom Corr Castle in Howth Demesne is a three-storey tower house with a turret that probably has the best view of the garden party. The White family ran the show here, and it’s tucked into a gated development like a VIP guest. Spot the oldest stone and give it a name.

Explorer Tom Another Holm Oak in County Dublin, where a fiddler supposedly played all night until the leaves started dancing. It’s a lovely story but probably pure invention by someone who’d had a few too many pints. Stand still and listen, the wind tells it better than me anyway.

Explorer 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.

Explorer Tom Martello Tower in Sutton South. Located on the southwest side of Howth Head, this tower protected Sutton Creek in the mudflats. The masonry has been recorded as part of the north Dublin towers. A guardian of the muddy shallows.

Explorer 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.

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!
