Mound in Castleknock (without Phoenix Park)Mound · 5 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Mound in Castleknock is a small dirt pile with no exact location and an imaginary fan club that meets every Tuesday. It’s basically a hill that got lost on the way to being famous. Pick a stone, any stone, and invent its biography before the council does.
Castleknock HouseHouse · 153 ydExplorer Tom Castleknock House is having a mid-life crisis, trading its thatch for terracotta and hiding behind a parapet like it’s shy. A German family built it? No, they just needed somewhere to nap. Leave nothing but footprints and a terrible pun.
The FarmGate lodge · 179 ydExplorer Tom The Farm gate lodge in Castleknock is a single-storey thing with carved timber eaves that look like they’re about to fly away. It’s just a guard house with delusions of grandeur. Ideal stop for a big stretch and a bigger yawn, trust me.
St. Bridgets WellHoly well · 307 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom St. Bridgets Well is just a water pump pretending to be holy while hiding behind bricks. It’s a blocked opening that lost its plot ages ago. Tell the next person you meet it's haunted. It might be.
The Royal Canal WayWalking route · 587 ydExplorer Tom The Royal Canal Way in County Dublin is stuck near Castleknock. The water looks lazy, so I’m betting the path is too. Drop a shot of that lock for my album!
National Famine WayWalking route · 595 ydExplorer Tom National Famine Way in County Dublin is dodging me like it’s got secrets. There’s a lock on the Royal Canal nearby, so maybe the famine just got thirsty? Snap one for me!
FarmleighHeritage attraction · 635 ydExplorer Tom Farmleigh is throwing itself a party and inviting the President to the dance. It’s a big fancy house trying to act casual, but it really just wants you to admire the gardens and pretend you know how politics works.
Castleknock CastleCastle · 656 ydExplorer Tom Castleknock Castle in County Dublin is perched right on top of a big old mound, just showing off. It's next to a college, so maybe the students are living in ghost stories now?
Children's playground920 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's playground in County Dublin is mysterious. No account means it might be a dragon's lair. Check under the slide for scales and take a photo of any shiny bits!
Graveyard in Palmerstown LowerGraveyard · 1518 ydExplorer Tom Graveyard in Palmerstown Lower is rectangular with memorials dating back to 1704. In 1955, human remains were found in a field nearby that are probably associated with it, so keep an eye out for any disturbed earth if you’re feeling adventurous and don’t mind a bit of mystery.
Furry GlenWood · 1598 ydExplorer Tom Furry Glen in County Dublin has a stream looking north, which I think means it's watching something. Furry sounds soft but probably isn't. Check for wet socks before you go.
Oldtown WoodWood · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Oldtown Wood in County Dublin gives a glimpse of the 'Fifteen Acres' and mountains. Sounds like a real estate listing. Probably beautiful though. Take a picture of the gap, not just the trees.
