monument3 ydExplorer Tom Monument in Ballinascorney Upper is a granite cross with a wheel head, standing three metres high above a road junction. It’s got no known purpose, which makes it extra mysterious and cheeky. Wave to the carvings and tell them you’re here!
Ballinascorney WoodForest · 665 ydExplorer Tom Ballinascorney Wood in County Dublin has a picture of a barn from Ohio, which makes no sense to me at all. Maybe someone mixed up their files, or maybe there's a secret barn here too. Find it and snap a pic for me to see what you found.
Ballinascorney HouseHunting/fishing lodge · 1035 ydExplorer Tom Ballinascorney House is a hunting lodge where Robert Emmet allegedly hid for one night, which is like staying in a hotel you forgot to book. Imagine him sneaking around the dining room with a bag of stolen bread instead of a proper breakfast tray. End your visit by pretending you’re not lost, because you definitely are.
Standing stone in Ballinascorney LowerStanding stone · 1330 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom This standing stone near Ballinascorney was noted as a 'boundary stone' in 1837, but nobody can find it anymore. It must be playing hide-and-seek with the surveyors again. I’d bet good money it’s just under a bush somewhere waiting to be found!
Black HillMountain / peak · 1353 ydExplorer Tom Black Hill in County Dublin is totally forested and looked at from Bohernabreena Road. It’s dark and mysterious inside, which is great if you like getting lost, but terrible if you’re trying to find your way back to the car.
Fairy fort / stone ringfort in BallymorefinnFairy fort / stone ringfort · 1391 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort in Ballymorefinn sits on a slope with views of the coast, looking down its nose at Glenasmole. It's a ringfort that thinks it's a celebrity because of the scenery. Bring someone who'll believe anything you say about its royal bloodline.
Graveyard in BallymanaGraveyard · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Graveyard in Ballymana has strict rules: no visible evidence allowed, or you’re out. It’s on a slope under rough pasture and refuses to prove it exists. Look serious, nod slowly, you're basically an expert now.
Ballymorefinn HillMountain / peak · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Ballymorefinn Hill in County Dublin overlooks a waterfall above Bohernabreena Reservoir. It’s a nice spot for a walk, as long as you don’t slip on the rocks and end up in the water like a clumsy tourist on holiday.
Children's playground2.5 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom This Children's playground in County Dublin smells like old socks and adventure. I think the swings are actually wings for flying. Jump off and hope for the best.
Saggart PlaygroundChildren's playground · 3.2 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Saggart Playground in County Dublin is probably full of Saggart locals who know all the shortcuts. The swings might be powered by pure cheekiness. If you see a kid swinging backwards, copy them!
CastleCastle, tower house · 5.9 mi
European Yew6.2 miExplorer 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.
