Holy Faith ConventConvent/nunnery · 495 ydExplorer Tom Holy Faith Convent in Celbridge hears every argument on Main Street through its sheer limestone dressings and pretends to be meditating. It was designed by a Dublin architect who really loved symmetry and medieval doorcases. Bring a camera and your most respectful sneer for the photo op.
CastletownGate lodge · 561 ydExplorer Tom Castletown gave up its fancy dress for Lent, leaving only this humble gate lodge behind. The machine-made red brick is doing its best not to look cheap. If it rains, blame me for walking past.
Common Lime572 ydExplorer Tom Common Lime has caught my eye in County Kildare. I bet a common lime with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Arthur GuinessMemorial · 605 ydExplorer Tom Arthur Guiness has caught my eye in County Kildare. I bet a memorial with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Celbridge PlaygroundChildren's playground · 657 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Celbridge Playground has caught my eye in County Kildare. I bet a children's playground with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
IndicatedHistoric town · 671 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Historic town in Castletown would teach history by shouting across a table and dropping crumbs everywhere. It was called Kildrought until the 1700s, which is a terrible name for a thirsty place. Ideal stop for a big stretch and a bigger yawn.
Grave YardGraveyard · 692 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Graveyard in Oakleypark claims ancient roots, but I bet it's younger than my last haircut. St. Mochua would be furious at the gossip I'm making up right now. Tell me if the gossip I made up is true.
Scoil Mochua GardensGarden · 699 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Scoil Mochua Gardens has caught my eye in County Kildare. I bet a garden with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Oriental plane966 ydExplorer Tom This Oriental Plane in Kildare would win a county fair by just looking smug and dropping leaves on your shoes. It thinks it's a fancy boulevard tree but it’s stuck in the sticks. Look for the ghost, then pretend you didn't.
Saint Patrick's HillMountain / peak · 2.2 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Saint Patrick's Hill has caught my eye in County Kildare. I bet a mountain / peak with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Leixlip Spa - SpringSpring · 2.4 miExplorer Tom Leixlip Spa - Spring has caught my eye in County Kildare. I bet a spring with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Grand Canal WayWalking route · 2.5 miExplorer Tom Grand Canal Way in County Dublin is pretending to be Kildare according to one cheeky map note. A little county peninsula poking through like a nosy neighbour. Tell me if it's still hiding!
