Coolgreine HouseHouse · 78 yd

Explorer Tom Coolgreine House in Ringacoltig is an imposing five-bay house from around 1820! It’s got canted bay windows and a portico that make it look absolutely grand. The asymmetric fenestration is a real talking point here!

TravaraHouse · 153 yd

Explorer Tom Travara in Ringacoltig is all Tudor Revival style, which basically means it thinks it’s five hundred years old but it’s just dressing up for the party. The seagulls definitely have opinions on its steep roofs. Ideal place to hide from your phone.

Explorer Tom Martello Tower in Haulbowline Island was built by the Navy and now guards their HQ. It’s got wooden stairs and a water tank up top. Tell it I said g'day from across the harbour, will you?

Barracks in Haulbowline IslandBarracks · 923 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Barracks in Haulbowline Island saw a dramatic event where a rat stole a general’s medal. It’s on an island, so the only way out is if you can swim. Great spot to propose. Or at least to propose lunch.

Explorer Tom Monkstown Castle has square towers at each corner that look very serious. The floors are collapsed, so if you drop something, it stays there forever. Ten minutes here and you'll have a yarn for the pub.

Titanic MemorialMemorial · 1.1 miCarrigaline Castle (in Ruins)Castle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 3.0 mi

Explorer Tom Carrigaline Castle in Carrigaline East is hiding behind a lot of ivy and quarried stone. Only half the tower is really standing, but it looks mysterious. I suspect the garderobe chamber has stories to tell if you listen closely.
