Rose GardenGarden · 492 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom This Rose Garden in County Dublin might be a trap for anyone who loves flowers too much. The roses could be fake plastic ones hiding tiny cameras to watch you blush.
milestone/milepost583 ydExplorer Tom Milestone in Ballyhoy is a granite post on Howth Road with a plate that says Dublin to Howth. It’s got cast-iron rivets and was put there by Telford to make sure mail arrived fast, so stop dawdling.
Old milestone589 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Old milestone in County Dublin says P.O. Dublin 4 to Howth 5. Four miles? That’s a brisk walk for me. It’s probably napping under some ivy right now.
St Paul's CollegeHouse · 591 ydExplorer Tom St Paul's College in Sibylhill has seen more bishops than I’ve seen haircuts that work. The Barlows kept buying and selling it like it was a hot potato. Go nowhere near the kitchen, or you’ll get stuck in history!
Walled GardenGarden · 664 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Walled Garden in County Dublin has walls that hold grudges. The plants inside are plotting an escape. Keep an eye on the gate!
Annie Lee Tower and BridgeMonument · 1058 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Annie Lee Tower and Bridge sounds like a fancy hotel or a very confused architect. Go check if the bridge still works or if it’s just a decorative paperweight in the park.
Holm Oak1185 ydExplorer 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.
Battle of ClontarfMajor battlefield · 1391 ydExplorer Tom Battle of Clontarf in County Dublin is where Brian Boru and the Vikings had their big noisy argument over a thousand years ago. The ground probably still remembers who kicked whom, so step gently or you’ll wake them up.
Wych Elm1431 ydExplorer Tom Wych Elm in County Dublin is proud of its age and acts accordingly, refusing to move an inch. Bring a flask and pretend you own the place, even if the landowner is glaring at you from afar.
Clontarf CastleCastle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Clontarf Castle has a mock Norman keep added in 1837, which is quite cheeky for a Tudor-Revival house. Adam de Phephoe was there way back when. Bring your worst joke, the place has heard worse from tourists.
Clontarf Castle HotelVisitor information · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Clontarf Castle Hotel has been around since 1936, so it's seen better days and definitely worse weather. The picture shows it looking a bit tired, so maybe the ghost of the original owner is just napping in the lobby.
East Point Business ParkVisitor information · 2.2 miExplorer Tom East Point Business Park is a visitor information centre? Who visits a business park for fun? Probably just lost accountants and very confused tourists. Ask them if the coffee is still hot.
