Explorer Tom Dotted outline. Aderrig Church sits on a hillock with an oval enclosure that is now mostly levelled. It is amusing that such a significant boundary is now just a faint memory in the grass, waiting for someone to notice its shape again.
Aghderrig FarmFarm house · 88 ydExplorer Tom Aghderrig Farm in Aderrig is a modest farmhouse with outbuildings that make up a working rural complex. The matchmaker who used to work there probably sent more couples to the fields than the church did. Go at sunset for the vibes.
Backweston HouseFarm house · 674 ydExplorer Tom Backweston House has a radial fanlight that looks like a sunburst frozen in glass. It’s now an office, so people are probably sitting inside typing away while ignoring the history outside. Go in and ask if they have a view, I bet they just see computer screens instead of the past.
CastleCastle, unclassified · 768 ydExplorer Tom Aderrig Castle is so vague that even the maps can't find it, which is impressive for a structure.

Grand Canal WayWalking route · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Grand Canal Way in County Dublin has a bird that refuses to leave, which is funny because the rest of the canal is pretty quiet except for the occasional duck who thinks it owns the whole waterway and will dive-bomb your feet if you get too close. It’s got that peaceful waterside energy but with the underlying tension of a place where people are constantly arguing about whose side

St. Catherines WellsHoly well · 1.9 miExplorer Tom St. Catherines Wells in St. Catherine's Park has two wells side by side, one for drinking, one for eyes. It’s basically a spa day for your eyelids. A handy spot to stretch your legs and your imagination.
