OutlinedChapel · 5 yd

Explorer Tom Chapel in Naul is playing possum, hiding behind the Hussey family’s 1710 build. The medieval church got levelled, so this is the backup plan for history buffs. Ideal for a moody photo you'll pretend wasn't posed.

church/chapel14 yd

Explorer Tom Church or chapel in Naul is a ruin from 1710, sitting in a graveyard with no roof. Just battered stone walls staring at the sky. It’s got a mysterious vibe. Take a spooky photo for us!

Séamus EnnisStatue · 126 yd

Explorer Tom Séamus Ennis is blowing a tune that nobody wants to hear in County Dublin. I bet he’s up to something dodgy. Wave at the flute and see if he waves back, or just run.

Seamus Ennis Cultural CentreMemorial · 127 yd

Explorer Tom The Seamus Ennis Cultural Centre in County Dublin opened in 2001 to celebrate a piper who knew his stuff. I bet the music inside is loud. Go get some tunes for me!

Bawn in NaulBawn · 139 yd

Explorer Tom Naul Bawn sits on a ravine edge next to a holy well, which is a great place to get wet and spiritually confused. It’s possibly part of Naul Castle, but mostly it’s just a wall with excellent views of the river. Toast it with a cup of tea and move on to the next adventure.

Pigeon HouseDovecote · 256 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Pigeon House in Westown is now a GAA pitch. The pigeons left, the footballers moved in, and the medieval tower house got evicted for not paying rent. Kick it if you can find the old circle!

Wayside shrine272 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Another Wayside shrine in County Dublin is lurking there. I swear I saw it wink, but that might have been the wind.

Bun-na-CnoicMemorial · 595 yd

Explorer Tom Bun-na-Cnoic in County Dublin sounds like a boulder that got tired of being an Aill. It's just sitting there looking confused near some Dublin city bungalows. Pat it gently and move on.

Westown HouseCastle, tower house · 1071 yd

Explorer Tom Westown House in Westown is an 18th-century mansion that swallowed a medieval tower house whole like a very posh snack. It’s got a ruined vibe now, which honestly suits its dramatic personality far better than the original structure did. Bring a camera and your most suspicious face.

Fingal AllotmentsGarden · 1.6 miComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Fingal Allotments in County Dublin are probably where Fingal grows his vegetables. No accounts mean he might still be there, tending to his potatoes. Check if any cabbages look angry. If so, apologize for the lack of sunlight.

KnockbrackMountain / peak · 1.6 mi

Explorer Tom Knockbrack has a trig station on top for handy navigation. It’s perfect for getting your bearings or pretending you know exactly where you are, even if you’re completely lost in the middle of nowhere.

Hollywood GreatMountain / peak · 2.3 mi

Explorer Tom Hollywood Great overlooks a church graveyard and Lambay Island in the distance. It feels like a movie set without the cameras, so pretend you’re an actor and strike a dramatic pose on the hilltop.
