Enclosure in Brownstown (balrothery West By.)Enclosure · 813 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Enclosure in Brownstown is a big 45-meter circle that looks like it’s waiting for the next dance to start. It’s got extensive views, which is great for people who can’t see the actual enclosure. Make a wish, it's had centuries of practice being ignored.
Graveslab in GracedieuGraveslab · 1043 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Graveslab in Gracedieu features an incised cross with floriated arms, which sounds fancy but basically means the dead guy liked flowers on his headstone. There’s a prophecy that never came true about this place, probably involving a unicorn and a tax break. Best seen with a hangover and a sausage roll; the contrast is sharp.
Children's playground1.3 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's playground in County Dublin smells like old cheese and good vibes. That’s the scent of adventure. If you taste it, you’ll know if you’re meant to be here.
Catholic Church of the AssumptionChurch/chapel · 1.5 miExplorer Tom The Church of the Assumption claims glory for God but looks like it’s waiting for its pension to kick in. Reverend Canavan got his name on the door, which is all you really need. Whisper a secret at it; it’s kept worse ones.
outbuilding1.5 miExplorer Tom The Outbuilding in Grange is a two-storey stone oddity with a thatched extension added later. Smugglers definitely used the back door to sneak in crates of questionable whiskey before they got caught out. Find the date carved somewhere and feel clever about your detective work.
Castle (Site of)Castle, tower house · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Castle in Belinstown is currently under a commercial shed, which is peak medieval irony. Laurence Bealing was called a papist rebel, so he definitely had the right attitude. Tell your mates you found it first before they check their phones.
Picnic AreaPicnic place · 2.0 miExplorer Tom Picnic Area in County Dublin has a caption about a hillside viewing area. That sounds like a perfect spot to drop a sandwich. Take a picture for me and make sure no pigeons steal your food.
Roseville Business ParkVisitor information · 2.1 miExplorer Tom Roseville Business Park in County Dublin is showing off another photo of Eastpoint. I'm starting to think it's just one big office park with two names. Take a picture for me and tell the workers hi.
Graveyard in KillosseryGraveyard · 3.2 miExplorer Tom Graveyard in Killossery looks like it was built on top of something older, raised two metres above the ground. Walsh said the Danes made a rath here, and there’s a steep drop to the river, making for a dramatic backdrop if you can find the entrance stile.
Swords Manor PlaygroundChildren's playground · 3.5 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Swords Manor Playground in County Dublin has access, which is great, but is it really a playground? Maybe just a fancy garden with a bench. Go check if the manor is still standing or just a rumor.
Hollywood GreatMountain / peak · 3.5 miExplorer Tom Hollywood Great overlooks a church graveyard and Lambay Island in the distance. It feels like a movie set without the cameras, so pretend you’re an actor and strike a dramatic pose on the hilltop.
KnockbrackMountain / peak · 4.4 miExplorer Tom Knockbrack has a trig station on top for handy navigation. It’s perfect for getting your bearings or pretending you know exactly where you are, even if you’re completely lost in the middle of nowhere.
