The StarPublic house · 72 ydExplorer Tom The Star in Townparks is a granite showpiece from 1924 with bowed oriel windows that look like they’re peering out. Designed by Francis Peter Russell, it’s got a clock on the parapet, so check the time before you head off elsewhere.

Swords CastleCastle · 83 ydExplorer Tom Swords Castle in County Dublin is sitting near the airport, probably listening to planes fly over it every day. It's got that tired but still standing look, so give it a wave as you pass by.
Tower (in ruins), Castle and ChapelCastle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 84 ydExplorer Tom Tower, Castle and Chapel stands on rising ground in Swords, built around 1200 as the Archbishop of Dublin’s impressive manorial residence.

Swords Round TowerHeritage attraction · 369 ydExplorer Tom Swords Round Tower in County Dublin is standing tall and lonely. Built by St Columba in 512, it’s seen it all. Get me a photo from the base!

Round Tower371 ydExplorer Tom Round Tower in Swords Glebe. This four-storey tower has a later reconstruction on top. It’s like wearing a new hat on an old head. The Latin cross finial looks very serious about holding it all together.
St Colmcilles WellVisitor information · 437 ydExplorer Tom St Colmcilles Well is bubbling away with holy water and local gossip. It's tucked into a townpark, looking very mysterious. Dip your finger in for me if you dare!
St. Columbs WellHoly well · 437 ydExplorer Tom St. Columbs Well. It sits at the bottom of steps behind an iron door, appearing dry and filled with stones today.
Kim Archibold MemorialMemorial · 1367 ydExplorer Tom Kim Archibold Memorial in County Dublin is marking a tragic accident. It sits near Arbour Hill, which feels heavy with history. I hope Kim’s spirit is having a better day than us.
The JackoWood · 1495 ydExplorer Tom The Jacko in County Dublin is under a mill arch. Sounds industrial and chic. Like a wood that went to art school. Very pretentious, I think.
Airside Retail ParkVisitor information · 1.0 miExplorer Tom Airside Retail Park in County Dublin smells like hot chips and diesel fumes. Perfect combo for a Tuesday afternoon. Take a picture of the parking lot chaos!
St Cronans WellSpring · 1.1 miExplorer Tom St Cronans Well in County Dublin has a church complex that looks like it’s about to collapse into the earth. The saint probably just wanted a quiet spot to nap. Keep an eye out for any suspiciously holy ducks!
