Children's playground87 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's playground in County Dublin is inviting you to play. The slide might be slippery enough to make your hair stand up. Enjoy the breeze, yeah?
European long distance path E8 - part IrelandWalking route · 324 ydExplorer Tom The European long distance path E8 in County Dublin is part of a bigger puzzle that nobody finishes. It probably leads somewhere interesting, or maybe just to more hills. Follow the signs, but trust your own feet more than the map.
Watchtower in BalallyWatchtower · 683 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom A watchtower in Balally that nobody can find? I bet the bird living in the wall refuses to leave. It’s guarding something important, or maybe just a lost sock. Stand still and listen, the wind tells it better than me.
Church (site of)Ecclesiastical enclosure · 894 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Balally’s church enclosure used to be a massive earthen bank, but the developers levelled it like it was a minor inconvenience. It’s gone now, leaving behind nothing but a memory and some very smug modern housing. Tell it a joke, it's been a long time since anyone did.
Saint Mary's Catholic ChurchPresbytery/parochial/curate's house · 1287 ydExplorer Tom Saint Mary's Catholic Church presbytery in Balally is a compact two-storey box with a Classical doorcase, restored recently so it’s all tidy. Built for the priests, it’s got stepped chimneys. Show me that good quality workmanship!
Lakelands ChildcareChildren's playground · 1487 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Lakelands Childcare in County Dublin is hiding its secrets behind an unknown access door. Probably full of sleeping giants and very serious napping dragons. Take a peek if you can find the entrance!
Sandyford Carnegie Free LibraryLibrary/archive · 1.0 miExplorer Tom Sandyford Carnegie Free Library is bragging about surviving storms that never happened, thanks to its straightforward design by Rudolph Maximilian Butler. It’s not fancy, just effective, like a good sandwich. Right now, it’s probably judging your reading list from across the street.
European Yew1.4 miExplorer Tom European Yew in County Dublin has been feuding with the rain since the last ice age or something equally dramatic. It looks grumpy, which is on brand for a yew that’s seen too much drama. Go on a wet day, it suits the gloomy mood perfectly.
Lebanon Cedar1.4 miExplorer Tom Lebanon Cedar in County Dublin smells like expensive soap and old money, according to Tom, who has never been there but knows everything. It’s trying too hard to be fancy for a tree that just wants to stand still. Ring your granny and tell her where you are before you get lost in the scent.
Roebuck CastleCastle, unclassified · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Robswalls Castle is hiding behind a Victorian residence on the coast road, like a shy actor refusing to take a bow. It has stepped battlements and a vaulted ground floor that probably smells like old secrets and regret. Leave nothing but footprints and a bad pun.
Kilgobbin Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Kilgobbin Castle in Kilgobbin is an impressive granite tower house that was nearly sold for a horse in some wild tale I made up. The Walsh family ran this place, and it’s got stepped battlements that look like they’re ready for a battle. Have a look and decide if I was lying to you.
KilmashogueMountain / peak · 2.3 miExplorer Tom Kilmashogue is part of the Dublin Mountains and looks great from the southeast. It’s probably hiding some nice views from that angle, so try to find a good spot and frame the shot nicely for me.
