Children's playground267 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's playground in County Dublin has a swing set that creaks in a specific rhythm. It’s almost musical. Count the creaks and tell me what you hear, yeah?
Ladys WellHoly well · 615 ydExplorer Tom Ladys Well in Tyrrelstown is by the roadside with stone finials that look like tiny church spires. I bet it’s older than the concept of Tuesdays. It's the kind of place that makes a dull Tuesday interesting.
Lady's WellHoly well · 617 ydExplorer Tom Lady's Well is wrapped in a stone corbelled roof and Isaac Butler wrote about it in 1740, which is basically ancient history. The rabbits probably think it’s a very fancy burrow. A good place to forget your phone for ten minutes.
Wayside shrine689 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom This Wayside shrine in County Dublin is keeping quiet. Maybe it's shy, or maybe it's just really good at blending in with the daisies.
church in ruinsChurch · 735 ydExplorer Tom Church in Buzzardstown is in ruins because apparently, being fancy isn’t enough to keep you standing. It was first mentioned in the 15th century when a guild got involved, which always ends badly. Bring your nan, she'll know more than me.
Graveyard in BuzzardstownGraveyard · 756 ydExplorer Tom Graveyard in Buzzardstown is perched up high on a curve, looking down its nose at you. It's packed with old stones and reused bits, so it's basically a graveyard recycling bin. Stand still and let the wind do the talking; it's got better stories than I ever will.
TyrrelstownWood · 849 ydExplorer Tom Tyrrelstown in County Dublin has a Park Plaza nearby. A wood with a hotel next door? That is luxury camping for you. Bring your finest walking boots.
Tud Blanchardstown Horticulture GardenGarden · 1418 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Tud Blanchardstown Horticulture Garden in County Dublin has plants with big ambitions. Tell the roses I said they’re looking fresh today.
Church, GraveyardChurch · 2.0 miExplorer Tom Church in Clonsilla, County Dublin has had so many names it's getting confused. The land has history going back to 500AD, which is older than some of us are old. Bring your nan, she'll know more than me.
Luttrellstown CastleCastle · 2.9 miExplorer Tom Luttrellstown Castle in County Dublin has been featured in an 1898 book about picturesque Dublin, which makes it sound like a proper old postcard. The Brit Lib has the details, but we'll just enjoy the vibe instead.
Giant Sequoia2.9 miExplorer Tom Giant Sequoia in County Dublin is having an existential crisis because it has an imaginary twin across the sea it’s never met. It’s huge, loud, and completely out of place here, like a giant in a small room. Look for the ghost, then pretend you didn't see anything weird.
Castleknock CastleCastle · 3.2 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?
