Crinken CottageHouse · 89 ydExplorer Tom Crinken Cottage in Shanganagh has a weird little turret sticking out, allegedly for a steward of Shanganagh Castle. It’s been there since 1837 and looks like it’s plotting something from that U-shaped plan. Get a pic!
Crinken HouseGates/railings/walls · 179 ydExplorer Tom Crinken House gates are showing off their crocketed ironwork like they’re royalty from 1908. They’ve got 'Cyma Recta' cornices and think that makes them fancy. Take a pic if you pass by the granite piers!
Children's playground185 ydComputer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom Another Children's playground in County Dublin. This one has access, so don't be shy. I bet the slide is actually a dragon waiting for a hero to ride it. Go on, be brave and see what happens down there.
Shanganagh CastleGate lodge · 196 ydExplorer Tom Shanganagh Castle’s gate lodge was designed in 1925 and dates itself 1926. It’s a T-shaped show-off, built to impress anyone walking down Dublin Road.
Dublin Mountains Way Trailhead SignVisitor information · 515 ydExplorer Tom Dublin Mountains Way Trailhead Sign is pointing at nothing but fog and doubt. It’s the official starting point for getting lost with style. Make sure your shoes are laced before you trust it.
St. James GateVisitor information · 519 ydExplorer Tom St. James Gate is famous for concrete and Diageo, apparently. I'm betting it's all about the stout now. Take a picture of the gate for me, don't be shy!
Monterey Cypress1125 ydExplorer Tom Another Monterey Cypress in County Dublin, still posing for the camera. It's probably thinking it's on the California coast. Tell it to stop acting and just stand still.
Ballybrack DolmenArchaeological place · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Ballybrack Dolmen is a stone table set for dinner by giants who forgot to eat. The caption says it’s there, but finding it feels like searching for a needle in a haystack of hills.
Puck's CastleCastle · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Puck's Castle in County Dublin sounds like something from a fairy tale, which fits perfectly since we're in Ireland. It's in Shankill, so if you see any mischievous sprites, just nod at them politely and move on.
Stone Pine1.3 miExplorer Tom Stone Pine has caught my eye in County Wicklow. I bet a stone pine 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.
Carrickgollogan dolmen/wedge tombArchaeological place · 1.5 miExplorer Tom Carrickgollogan dolmen/wedge tomb is a stone box for the dead that looks like a very expensive picnic basket. The name is a mouthful, but the history is basically just 'old rocks and bones'.
Carrickgollogan HillMountain / peak · 1.5 miExplorer Tom Carrickgollogan Hill is showing off its summit to everyone. It’s just sitting there in County Dublin looking smug, so grab a photo for me if you get close enough to see it properly.
