Explorer 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.

Explorer 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.

Explorer Tom Excavation in Castleknock, County Dublin found a kiln that got truncated by a pit, which is like getting your haircut cut off mid-fade. Take a mate and argue about what it was for; one of you will be wrong, probably both of you.

Explorer Tom Tower in Castleknock is actually a natural hillock called Windmill Hill that everyone keeps mistaking for an earthwork or a rath. It’s on the grounds of a Vincentian college, so it’s surrounded by students who probably think it’s just a hill to sleep on. Linger, it's not going anywhere and neither should you.

Explorer 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!

Explorer 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!

Explorer 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.

Explorer 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?

Explorer 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!

Explorer 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.

Explorer 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.

Explorer 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.
