Enclosure in LuskEnclosure · 231 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Enclosure in Lusk in County Dublin filled its ditches with charred oats because someone was really bad at cooking. It’s basically a prehistoric cereal factory that exploded into history. Bring sandwiches, the gulls will judge your crunching technique.
ExcavationExcavation, miscellaneous · 233 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Excavation in Lusk found a flint arrowhead while digging a stream bank, which is basically finding a penny in the mud. It’s probably still there, judging your parking skills from below. Bring a flask of something warm and a story to swap with the dirt.
Thomas AsheMemorial · 255 ydExplorer Tom Thomas Ashe in County Dublin is a memorial that definitely knows he’s important. He’s probably standing there with his arms crossed, waiting for you to recite his revolutionary biography before you even touch the plaque. Keep it brief, yeah?
Glebe HouseRectory/glebe/vicarage/curate's house · 314 ydExplorer Tom Glebe House in Lusk was built in 1821 by the Church of Ireland and has original fenestration. It’s got granite plinths and segmental-headed recesses, so it’s got some character. Mind the basement if you’re curious!
Children's playground361 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom This Children's playground in County Dublin is full of shadows that don’t match the equipment. Weird angles everywhere. Take a picture from a low angle to capture it.
Lusk Community HallLibrary/archive · 702 ydExplorer Tom Lusk Community Hall used to be a Carnegie library, so it’s basically a bookworm in a suit. The 1997 extension is like a new haircut that didn’t quite work. Bring a camera and your most suspicious face, the faires might be judging your parking.
Lusk Round TowerVisitor attraction · 894 ydExplorer Tom Lusk Round Tower in County Dublin is spinning slowly, or maybe that's just my head. It looks very dizzy up there. Capture that vertigo for me!
Graveyard in LuskGraveyard · 909 ydExplorer Tom Graveyard in Lusk has a low stone wall that’s been collapsed and repaired many times. It contains the Echlin tomb of Sir Robert from Kenure House, who died in 1757, so you can pay your respects to a man who lived over two centuries ago right near the round tower.
CastleCastle, unclassified · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Castle in Collinstown was bought by a cow who couldn’t pay the mortgage, so now it’s just a field pretending to have history. Hang around long enough and you'll hear a story from a local about that very cow.
Picnic AreaPicnic place · 1.7 miExplorer Tom Picnic Area in County Dublin has a caption about a hillside viewing area. That sounds like a perfect spot to drop a sandwich. Take a picture for me and make sure no pigeons steal your food.
Hollywood GreatMountain / peak · 4.0 miExplorer 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.
KnockbrackMountain / peak · 4.5 miExplorer 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.
