Children's playground2 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom Children's playground in County Dublin is pretending to be a statue. It’s very still, but its eyes follow you everywhere you go.
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!
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!
Standing stone in KiltalownStanding stone · 970 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Standing stone in Kiltalown got knocked over in 1996 because it wasn’t set in a socket. It’s just a block of granite with attitude. If it rains, blame me.
Burial ground in CorballyBurial ground · 1090 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Burial ground in Corbally is where locals were buried back in the day, but it’s not precisely located, so good luck finding the exact spot. Whisper a secret at it, it’s kept worse.
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.
Saggart PlaygroundChildren's playground · 1.1 miTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom Saggart Playground in County Dublin is probably full of Saggart locals who know all the shortcuts. The swings might be powered by pure cheekiness. If you see a kid swinging backwards, copy them!
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.
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.
