Well in FairviewWell · 103 ydExplorer Tom Well in Fairview is known as Two Sisters Well, but there’s no trace left, so it’s just a rumour with wet feet. It would rate your visit one star for lacking imagination. Bring wellies and low expectations, leave delighted.
Fairview Oil MillsMill (water) · 245 ydExplorer Tom Fairview Oil Mills in Fairview is a ruinous water mill from 1875 with coursed limestone walls and a square red brick chimney. The walls still stand proud of the tree line, imposing an historic character on the parkland like a forgotten industrial giant.
Corkagh DemesneMemorial · 524 ydExplorer Tom Corkagh Demesne in County Dublin is hiding in plain sight as a memorial. It’s probably got some lovely trees and a bit of mystery about it. Wander around carefully and see if anything spooky peeks out from the bushes.
South Dublin County CouncilChildren's playground · 701 ydComputer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom South Dublin County Council in County Dublin is a playground? Sure, why not! Bureaucrats love to swing around their own mistakes. It's accessible, so go see if any officials are hiding under the slide.
Moyle Park HouseCountry house · 727 ydExplorer Tom Moyle Park House is a most unusual former house with a grand principal elevation and a modest wing. It has a crisply executed classical porch and sits within college grounds. Bring your A-game because this place knows it looks different from everything else in Clondalkin.
Rose GardenGarden · 1078 ydComputer-made picture. It does not show this garden.Explorer Tom Another Rose Garden in County Dublin? They must run out of ideas after three. I bet the soil here is made entirely of old gossip and bad decisions.
Round Tower1083 ydExplorer Tom Round Tower in Clondalkin has been standing since the 7th century, watching Dublin grow from mud huts to skyscrapers without losing its cool. It’s seen emperors and engineers, but it’s still just a tall, lonely cylinder in a field. Dare you to say hello to it out loud.
The Round TowerVisitor information · 1102 ydExplorer Tom The Round Tower in Clondalkin is 84 feet high and has original stairs. It's been a refuge since the 10th century. Grab a photo of the top for me!
Veronica Guerin memorialMemorial · 1141 ydExplorer Tom The Veronica Guerin memorial in County Dublin is right there in the Dubhlinn Gardens, looking very determined about getting her message across. It’s a bit of a double entry for us, but she deserves the extra attention. Tell her Tom said hi!
Fairy WoodWood · 1208 ydExplorer Tom Fairy Wood in County Dublin is carpeted with bluebells, according to my file. Sounds like a fairy's living room. If they're there, tell them Tom says hi, not that I'm superstitious.
CastleCastle, unclassified · 1415 ydExplorer Tom Castle in Clondalkin is Tully’s Castle, a narrow 16th-century tower with crenellations right on Monastery Road. It’s in state care, so it’s basically a celebrity that can’t leave the house. Ring your granny and tell her where you are before she worries about the round tower.
Griffeen Valley WalkWalking route · 2.1 miExplorer Tom Griffeen Valley Walk in County Dublin has a river that merges into Vesey Park, which sounds like a fancy garden party gone wrong. Grab a photo of the water for me!
