EmbankmentHouse · 700 ydExplorer Tom Embankment in Corbally was once a handsome six-bay house, now part of a public house. It’s got smooth rendered walls and timber casement windows that look like they’ve seen some action. Wave to the slate roof from the street!
IndicatedHoly well · 714 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.
ClooncoraHouse · 718 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!
Linear earthwork in TallaghtLinear earthwork · 1052 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.
CastleCastle, unclassified · 1.0 miExplorer 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.
Verschoyle's HillMountain / peak · 1.4 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!
Graveyard in BallymanaGraveyard · 1.4 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.
Meadow WildlifeVisitor information · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Meadow Wildlife claims to have bugs and birds, which is a bold claim in Dublin. I bet there’s more pigeons than anything else, but hey, live and learn.
SpringfieldNamed rock · 1.7 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.
Rathcoole ParkPark · 1.7 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.
Sean Walsh ParkVisitor information · 1.8 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.
Belgard CastleCastle, tower house · 2.2 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.
