Children's playground110 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's playground in County Dublin is private, so mind the grumpy gnome guarding the sandbox. He eats lost mittens. Watch your pockets closely there!
Nature TrailVisitor information · 374 ydExplorer Tom Nature Trail in County Dublin is showing off a photo from Raleigh, NC. That's miles away, mate! It's like claiming your dog lives in Paris. Take a picture for me and prove them wrong.
Well in Monkstown (part Of)Well · 424 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Well in Monkstown is known as Juggy’s Well, which sounds like a name from a bad fantasy novel. It was closed for use, so probably ran dry or someone dropped a phone in it. Have a nosey, politely, before you drop your phone in and become local legend number two.
Marian Year ShrineWayside shrine · 884 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Marian Year Shrine in County Dublin was built by a gang of lads back in 1954 who probably thought they were kings. Frank Scully and the boys must have had a laugh building this. Say hi for me!
Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 901 ydExplorer Tom Monkstown Castle is a three-storey tower that sticks out past its bawn like an elbow in a handshake. It’s got battlements and a spiral stair that probably breaks your knees. Bring biscuits, every good story needs biscuits and someone to complain about the damp.
Monkstown CastleHeritage attraction · 905 ydExplorer Tom Monkstown Castle in County Dublin is viewing itself from the east, apparently. It's a heritage attraction, so it must have some stories to tell. Peek over the walls and see what secrets are hiding there!

Bawn in Monkstown CastlefarmBawn · 908 ydExplorer Tom Monkstown Bawn is an L-shaped wall that used to protect monks from people who wanted their grain. Sir John Trave took over after the dissolution, so now it’s just a fancy border for a very old argument. Visit, then text me what you think. I'll pretend to read it and nod sagely.
Church in Monkstown HousefarmChurch · 982 ydExplorer Tom Church in Monkstown Housefarm has its gable incorporated into a 17th-century charnel-house, which is a very efficient use of space if you’re okay with bones. A goat once ruled this place and left the door open, so don’t blame me for the mess. Best visited with a curious kid and no timetable to follow.
Graveyard in Monkstown HousefarmGraveyard · 998 ydExplorer Tom Graveyard in Monkstown Housefarm is a trapezoidal walled site with a pointed arched gateway. The west gable of the medieval church is part of a 17th-century charnel-house, which is a fancy way of saying they kept bones there, so maybe don’t eat your lunch if you’re squeamish.
KensingtonHouse · 1029 ydExplorer Tom Kensington in Woodpark is a single-storey villa with a cruciform plan and a flat-roofed porch. It sounds like something from a spy movie set in the countryside. It’s disused now, so maybe it’s hiding secrets. Or just dust. Probably dust.
Christ the KingMemorial · 1383 ydExplorer Tom Christ the King in County Dublin has a bell tower that probably rings when it feels like it. It's a Catholic church with serious architectural vibes. Ring the bell if you're brave!
SeapointBeach / strand · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Seapoint in County Dublin has rocks and buoys that stop motorboats from getting too close to you. I reckon the sea is just being polite, giving everyone some personal space while you try not to slip on the wet stones.
