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!
Shanganagh CastleGate lodge · 196 ydExplorer Tom Shanganagh Castle’s gate lodge thinks it’s the main event, but it’s just the bouncer. Built in 1925 by a guy who liked showing off. If you ask it about the 1800s, it will quote Shakespeare at you.
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 This Monterey Cypress in County Dublin is definitely listening to a fiddler who never stops playing. The music is stuck in its branches. Bring a friend who talks too much and let the place shut them up.
Rathmichael WalkWalking route · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Rathmichael Walk in County Dublin is playing hard to get. My mate says it’s a city tour, but I bet the ghosts are doing the walking. Send me a photo of the mystery!
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.

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.
