    Nope, and you're getting even further away from it.

    Technically not, but I'll give it to you - the concrete structure is the North Bull Wall, and the tide is low, so I have gone over it from Dollymount Strand and am on the Dublin Port side of it. Dollymount would be to the left on the other side.

    But well done for spotting Poolbeg Lighthouse. Over to you...

    Absolutely ... it looked so peaceful and serene last night in the late evening sunset - a great spot for photos of the boats against the backdrop of the Dublin skyline in the far distance....

    These appear to be the remains of a sunken forest - would they be the one which is based in the Shannon Estuary????

    No, but you are in the right county... The clue is, it's a nature reserve. :)

    Agavin, you are right about the sunken wood, but wrong county.

    Did not realise that the rules do not allow a "treasure hunt" for the location when you do not know it straight off. I thought that was the fun bit..........:)

    The folly had a path down to Castletown House. It gave work to the poor after a particular harsh winter, and also served to enable people to contact each other. Finally, it's the final restin place for the dude's wife.
