water pump244 ydExplorer Tom Water pump in Newcastle North is bright green and shiny, with a lion’s head that looks ready to roar at you. Built around 1860, it’s the coolest street furniture around. Ask it for a drink; I doubt it’ll give one!
Newcastle National SchoolSchool · 268 ydExplorer Tom Newcastle National School from 1825 has one door on the back, which is a bit odd for kids who need to get out fast. It’s simple and charming, but definitely don't get lost in the corridors because there's only one exit.
Choice ChildcareChildren's playground · 293 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Choice Childcare in County Dublin is private and full of mystery. No account, so perhaps the toddlers know more than the adults? Snap a shot for me if you can!
Well in Newcastle SouthWell · 310 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Well in Newcastle South used to be mistaken for a tower house, but it was really just hiding out. It’s got a bit of a secret life under that sod. Mind the nettles, they’re the real guards here and they bite back.
Cross-inscribed stone in Glebe (newcastle By., Newcastle Ed)Cross-inscribed stone · 336 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Cross-inscribed stone in Glebe was found cleaning out a rectory pond in the 60s. Two Latin crosses on limestone, possibly a gutter stone for a medieval building. Now it's lost to time and geography. Where'd it go?
European Yew340 ydExplorer Tom European Yew in County Dublin has an imaginary fan club called 'The Conifer Lovers' who meet underground. They probably argue about which branch is the most majestic and throw leaves at each other. Bring a flask of something warm and a story to swap with them.
IndicatedCastle, motte · 463 ydExplorer Tom Castle in Newcastle North is basically a ghost that never quite left the building. The old maps say it was there, but now it’s just a level field pretending to be mysterious. Mind the nettles, they’re the real guards here.
Children's playground474 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's playground in County Dublin is hiding something weird. I think the swings are actually portals to another dimension. Swing really hard and tell me what you see.
CastleCastle, tower house · 676 ydExplorer Tom Castle in Newcastle North is a flat-topped mound that looks like a giant’s pillow left out in the rain. It’s been sitting there since 1200, judging the church next door without saying a word. Snap one photo, then put the phone away and actually look.
Saint Finian's WellSpring · 936 ydExplorer Tom Saint Finian's Well in County Dublin is guarded by a chapel that looks suspiciously like a photo from Wikipedia. It’s probably full of holy water and questionable history. Don’t get your feet wet, you’ll regret it later!
Grand Canal WayWalking route · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Grand Canal Way in County Dublin is pretending to be Kildare according to one cheeky map note. A little county peninsula poking through like a nosy neighbour. Tell me if it's still hiding!
Lyons HillMountain / peak · 1.6 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Lyons Hill has caught my eye in County Kildare. I bet a mountain / peak 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.
