ClooncoraHouse · 483 ydExplorer Tom Clooncora in Corbally has a breakfront that broke my heart. Prophecy says it’ll win a beauty contest, but nah. Snap a pic of those brick sills for me!
IndicatedHoly well · 730 ydExplorer Tom Holy well in Corbally sits in a marshy hollow and smells like wet socks and ancient secrets. St Moling is no longer venerated, so feel free to make it up. Bring a flask of something warm and a story to swap.
Linear earthwork in TallaghtLinear earthwork · 794 ydExplorer Tom Linear earthwork in Tallaght runs along Kiltalown House boundary and looks like a long, planted line. Bomb squad called nearby? Maybe it's just a very defensive ditch. Walk the length for me, I dare you.
Kiltalown HouseCountry house · 797 ydExplorer Tom Kiltalown House is imposing and elegant, basically the CEO of houses. Its windows are huge because it wants everyone to see it off its best side. Visit, then take a bow like a servant; it expects that kind of respect from visitors.
CastleCastle, unclassified · 1598 ydExplorer Tom Castle in Jobstown was 'in repair' according to old books, but now a housing estate sits on its rectangular earthworks. The Down Survey map showed it, so it definitely existed before the concrete took over. Hang around long enough and you'll hear a story from a local about the old days.
Graveyard in BallymanaGraveyard · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Graveyard in Ballymana has strict rules: no visible evidence allowed, or you’re out. It’s on a slope under rough pasture and refuses to prove it exists. Look serious, nod slowly, you're basically an expert now.
SpringfieldNamed rock · 1.5 miExplorer Tom Springfield in County Dublin is recorded as a named rock, which is weird because there’s also a hotel nearby. Maybe the rock got jealous of the accommodation? Take a selfie next to it if you find the actual stone.
Verschoyle's HillMountain / peak · 1.5 miExplorer Tom Verschoyle’s Hill in County Dublin has a watchtower from 1720 nearby, which is ancient history stuff. It’s probably guarding something spooky or just getting cold feet. Take a picture of the tower for me!
Sean Walsh ParkVisitor information · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Sean Walsh Park is just minding its own business on a walking map. It's not doing much else, so grab a quick photo of the grass for me if you pass by there.
tallaght crossVisitor information · 1.7 miExplorer Tom Tallaght cross in County Dublin is its exact duplicate. They’re standing side-by-side saying the same thing, which makes me think one of them is just lying to you.
Rathcoole ParkPark · 1.9 miExplorer Tom Rathcoole Park in County Dublin has trees that remember every secret whispered beneath them. The wind carries old gossip today. Lean against a trunk and listen for the juicy details from centuries past.
Belgard CastleCastle, tower house · 2.1 miExplorer Tom Belgard Castle is a tower house hiding inside an 18th-century mansion, like a grandpa in a tuxedo. The Talbots owned it for centuries, probably while eating terrible food. Best seen with a hangover and a very suspicious sausage roll.
