Saint Finian's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 524 ydExplorer Tom Saint Finian's Catholic Church in Hilltown is on a fan-shaped semi-circular plan, which is definitely an artistic choice. It’s got a full-height interior with a carpeted bowed stepped dais. The stained glass windows depict saints that are probably judging your outfit. Don’t trip on the steps!
Explorer Tom Fish-pond in Brackenstown is actually a canal from the early eighteenth century, which is a bit cheeky of them to call it a pond. It’s used for horse riding now, so watch out for hooves and muddy boots.
Brackenstown HouseCountry house · 1132 ydExplorer Tom Brackenstown House in Brackenstown is a country house dated 1915 with a cut-sandstone portico from 1720. It’s got a porte cochere and pebbledashed walls. Orpen and Dickenson designed it, so try to sound impressed when you talk about it!
Airside Retail ParkVisitor information · 1267 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.
Explorer Tom Tower, Castle and Chapel stands on rising ground in Swords, built around 1200 as the Archbishop of Dublin’s impressive manorial residence.
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 Killing of David Byrne in County Dublin is near the Regency Airport Hotel, which sounds very fancy. The death happened close to a main route. Take a pic of the hotel and pretend you’re checking in for good.
