Foxrock Village Heritage MapVisitor information · 8 ydExplorer Tom Foxrock Village Heritage Map is trying to tell me about history but it’s just a piece of paper on a pole. It probably lies about the past. Read it upside down if you dare.

The GablesShop/retail outlet · 58 ydExplorer Tom The Gables shop in Foxrock was built for Alex Findlater and Company in 1906. It would describe itself to a stranger as 'fancy' because it’s near the racecourse and yachts. Just pretend you own a horse, it’ll believe you.

CornelscourtCastle, tower house · 1261 ydExplorer Tom Cornelscourt was a thatched castle that got swapped for a shopping centre, trading swords for sale racks in one go. Stand there long enough and someone will ask if you're lost or just checking the prices on the past.
Monterey Cypress1.0 miExplorer Tom Monterey Cypress in County Dublin looks like it's trying very hard to look Mediterranean. A local legend says a giant sneezed and planted it by accident. Stand where the owner stood and practise looking smug.
Silver Birch1.0 miExplorer Tom Silver Birch in County Dublin has that pale skin thing going on, which is either elegant or just sunburned. Stand on the spot and imagine the gossip it’s heard about every dog that passed by.
Rock art in Carrickmines GreatRock art · 1.0 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Rock art in Carrickmines Great was found while they were digging for a motorway, which is a bit of a buzzkill for romance.
