Grave Yard, dotted outlineGraveyard · 9 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Graveyard in Aderrig is unfenced and stands on an artificial rise, which means it’s very proud of its elevated status despite being in flat, low-lying ground. There are two gravestones outside, one from 1733 and one from 1820, so it’s got some serious seniority going on. Bring a notebook and write the bit I made up.
Aghderrig FarmFarm house · 91 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 · 671 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.
ExcavationExcavation, miscellaneous · 748 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Excavation in Ballymadeer is sick of everyone asking if they found a dinosaur. It was just a pit with some burnt bits, but we make it sound grand. Bring curiosity, leave with a better story than mine.
CastleCastle, unclassified · 770 ydExplorer Tom Aderrig Castle is so vague that even the maps can't find it, which is impressive for a structure. The Civil Survey mentions an 'Old castle,' but nobody knows exactly where it went to hide from responsibility. Bring a friend who talks too much and let the mystery shut them up.
Children's playground1226 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's playground in County Dublin is accessible and likely full of tiny adventures. The seesaw might be a balance point for the whole neighbourhood, so don’t let one side go up too high!
Play TrainChildren's playground · 1510 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Play Train in County Dublin is chugging along on an invisible track. I bet it goes to the land of lost socks and missing toys. If you hear whistling, grab onto the handlebars tightly!
Batty Langley WoodsForest · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Batty Langley Woods has caught my eye in County Kildare. I bet a forest with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Leixlip MonumentMemorial · 1.5 miExplorer Tom Leixlip Monument has caught my eye in County Kildare. I bet a memorial with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Sli Na Sláinte Leixlip Lucan DemesneWalking route · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Sli Na Sláinte Leixlip Lucan Demesne in County Dublin is giving me the dead man’s hand. Health route? More like a health scare! Check if it’s still breathing for me, yeah?
Guinness' BreweryMemorial · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Guinness' Brewery has caught my eye in County Kildare. I bet a memorial with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Grand Canal WayWalking route · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Grand Canal Way in County Dublin is pretending to be Kildare according to one cheeky map note. A little county peninsula poking through like a nosy neighbour. Tell me if it's still hiding!
