Enclosure in Townparks (balrothery East By.)Enclosure · 148 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Enclosure in Townparks: Test excavations confirmed an enclosure ditch with evidence of burning and multi-phase occupation. I’m grinning because fire was clearly a regular guest here, leaving its mark on the ground before developers arrived to dig deeper.
Children's playground340 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom This Children's playground in County Dublin looks like it’s judging you. Probably for wearing shoes on the grass. The swings might be haunted by a grumpy grandpa.
Skerries Railway StationStation master's house · 373 ydExplorer Tom Skerries Railway Station master’s house in Townparks is wearing a 1990 extension like a trench coat. It looks fancy with its terracotta pots, but I bet it still smells of old coal. Bring your worst joke, the place has heard worse.
Windmill (in ruins)Windmill · 478 ydExplorer Tom Windmill in Townparks is a straight-sided cylindrical structure with a cap that turns, originally built as a four-sail windmill. It’s part of the Skerries Mills Complex and has a raised bank around it, so it looks like it’s trying to sit down permanently.
Skerries MillsMill (wind) · 479 ydExplorer Tom Skerries Mills is a windmill from 1525 with canvas sails that look like they’re about to fly away. The thatched roof is turned to the wind. It’s basically a giant toy. Spin around if you can!
Skerries RockMemorial · 1343 ydExplorer Tom Skerries Rock in County Dublin is just a rock, but it’s got a girdle around it or something. It looks like it’s guarding the shore from angry waves. Take a picture of the stone!
Skerries BeachVisitor information · 1480 ydExplorer Tom Skerries Beach is basking in the sun near Balbriggan, looking all smooth and golden. Colin Park got a shot there ages ago. Get your own angle for me, mate.
Skerries Harbour and BeachVisitor information · 1493 ydExplorer Tom Skerries Harbour and Beach is chilling right next to the water, looking very proper. The harbour's doing its best to look welcoming. Snap a pic of the boats for me!

Castle (in ruins)Castle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Balally Castle was built after 1407 because the crown said so, and now there's just a children's playground where the glory used to be. It’s basically a castle that retired early to become a swing set. Look for the ghost, then pretend you didn't see it playing tag.
Shenick IslandIslet · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Shenick Island in County Dublin sits right next to Rockabill Lighthouse like a shy little sibling. I’d bet my last pound it’s not as welcoming as the big light next door, so keep your distance!
Colt IslandIslet · 1.5 miExplorer Tom Colt Island in County Dublin. Sounds like it’s full of young horses galloping around. I can imagine the hooves on the rocky shore. Take a photo if there are any equine residents hanging out.
Ardgillan CastleHeritage attraction · 2.1 miExplorer Tom Ardgillan Castle in County Dublin looks like it’s judging your outfit while standing on its hill, so take a picture for me and try not to look too lost.
