Armorial plaque in Unknown TownlandArmorial plaque · 37 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Armorial plaque in Dublin belongs to the St. Lawrence family from Howth, dated 1572. It’s currently lodged in Howth Castle, which is where it should be if you want to impress your date with history.
post box135 ydExplorer Tom Post box in Bettyville is a cast-iron pillar from c.1930. It has a shallow domed cap with dentillated rim and a 'Post Office' monogram. The lack of decoration shows functionality winning over form in street furniture design!
BettyglenHouse · 267 ydExplorer Tom Bettyglen in Foxlands is proud of being built for George Jameson of the distillery. It’s Arts and Crafts style with an irregular plan. Get a photo before it gets another coat of paint, because it’s definitely trying to look mysterious.
Holm Oak292 ydExplorer 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.
St. Anns WellHoly well · 341 ydExplorer 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.
St. Annes PlaygroundChildren's playground · 765 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom St. Annes Playground in County Dublin is likely as quiet as the saint herself. Nobody knows access, which usually means it's locked or full of cats. Go check if anyone is actually playing or just waiting.
Herb GardenGarden · 821 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Herb Garden in County Dublin is probably full of weeds pretending to be mint. No info? I bet there's a secret recipe hidden in the soil. Don't eat anything unless you're sure, mate.
Wych Elm1.0 miExplorer 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.
Dollymount StrandBeach / strand · 1.2 miExplorer 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.
Battle of ClontarfMajor battlefield · 1.5 miExplorer 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.
Kilbarrack CemeteryCemetery · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Kilbarrack Cemetery is sitting by the sea, which means the wind is always trying to blow your hat off. I’d check if any of the headstones are wearing sunglasses; it gets pretty bright down there.
Graveyard in Kilbarrack LowerGraveyard · 1.6 miExplorer 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.
