ElmgreenHouse · 872 ydExplorer Tom Elmgreen in Dunsink is an 1850 house with a derelict gate lodge that looks like it’s giving up on life. It has limestone entrance gates, so you can feel fancy while walking past something that’s clearly falling apart. Go with someone who loves old stuff and watch them melt into the pavement.
Ashton HouseCountry house · 898 ydExplorer Tom Ashton House in Ashtown is an 1830s Italianate house with a glass lantern on the corner, looking like it’s ready for a tea party with the fairies. It’s got entrance gates and a farmyard complex to the grounds. A good place to forget your phone for ten minutes.
Children's playground937 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's playground in County Dublin is unknown, which means we’re flying blind into potential danger. A tale says the sandpit contains tiny, angry crabs that bite ankles. Wear high socks just to be safe!

Ranelagh BridgeBridge · 1017 ydExplorer Tom Ranelagh Bridge is showing off its humpback again, pretending it's not just lazy. Built in 1810, it’s seen more secrets than your ex. It's the kind of place that makes a dull Tuesday interesting.
Dunsink ObservatoryHeritage attraction · 1135 ydExplorer Tom Dunsink Observatory has been staring at the stars since 1783 and getting absolutely no replies. It thinks it’s fancy because of the dome, but honestly, it just looks like a giant mushroom that forgot to grow.
Grave YardGraveyard · 1327 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Graveyard in Abbotstown sits on a high point next to a holy well, which is basically the ultimate VIP section for the afterlife. The medieval church ruins are right there, so the dead have a great view of the living being confused about directions. Find a local and ask them the real story, then come back and tell me.
St. Bridgets WellHoly well · 1377 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom St. Bridgets Well is just a water pump pretending to be holy while hiding behind bricks. It’s a blocked opening that lost its plot ages ago. Tell the next person you meet it's haunted. It might be.
Martin Savage Memorial MonumentMonument · 1480 ydExplorer Tom Martin Savage Memorial Monument in County Dublin is standing tall, though the map didn't tell us where exactly. It's definitely a monument to something important. Take a pic of this stoic guardian!
Castle (site of)Castle, unclassified · 1690 ydExplorer Tom Ashtown Castle is just a kidney-shaped mound of rubble by the River Tolka. The Civil Survey mentions it, but that’s about it. Stand back, squint, and it looks like a castle if you’re optimistic enough.
The Royal Canal WayWalking route · 1699 ydExplorer Tom The Royal Canal Way in County Dublin is stuck near Castleknock. The water looks lazy, so I’m betting the path is too. Drop a shot of that lock for my album!
National Famine WayWalking route · 1709 ydExplorer Tom National Famine Way in County Dublin is dodging me like it’s got secrets. There’s a lock on the Royal Canal nearby, so maybe the famine just got thirsty? Snap one for me!
Castleknock CastleCastle · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Castleknock Castle in County Dublin is perched right on top of a big old mound, just showing off. It's next to a college, so maybe the students are living in ghost stories now?
