Explorer Tom Catholic Church of the Immaculate Conception in Balheary is a 1855 limestone job that once had a goat ruling its roof, and I bet it still remembers the smell. Go before the tourists find out.
Newtown HouseCountry house · 954 ydExplorer Tom Newtown House is a country house from 1760 with a gabled breakfront. It’s got uPVC windows now, which ruins the vibe slightly. But the leaded fanlight is still there. It’s trying to keep up with the times.
Explorer Tom Glasmore Abbey is a square, enigmatic building with medieval insertions that survives to one storey height. It looks like a box made of limestone blocks in Mooretown. Bring curiosity, leave with a better story than mine about its purpose.
St Cronans WellSpring · 1548 ydExplorer 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!
Explorer Tom Swords Castle was built around 1200 for the Archbishop of Dublin. It’s a polygon with a chapel and a residential tower that probably heard all the high-church gossip. Take a mate and argue about what it was for.
Explorer 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.
Explorer 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.
Explorer 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!
The JackoWood · 1.3 miExplorer 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.
Kim Archibold MemorialMemorial · 1.3 miExplorer 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.
Explorer 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!
Airways Industrial EstateVisitor information · 4.7 miExplorer Tom Airways Industrial Estate in County Dublin is probably just warehouses full of mystery boxes. I bet there’s something weird in there. Take a photo from a safe distance, though.
