Grave YardGraveyard · 584 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Graveyard in Clonaghlis has caught my eye in Clonaghlis, County Kildare. I bet a graveyard with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.

Lyons LodgeGate lodge · 726 ydExplorer Tom Lyons Lodge in Skeagh is showing off its original temple front. The granite portico looks like it stepped straight out of ancient Greece to guard the entrance, even though the house behind is all modern reconstruction.
Alymer BridgeBridge · 736 ydExplorer Tom Alymer Bridge in Skeagh looks like it's doing a very expensive yoga pose on the canal. The curves are so dramatic I think it might faint from its own elegance. If you can't tell it a secret, don't whisper near it!
Lyons HillMountain / peak · 1464 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this mountain top.Explorer Tom Lyons Hill has caught my eye in County Kildare.

Reeves CastleCastle · 1513 ydExplorer Tom Reeves Castle has caught my eye in County Kildare. I bet a castle with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Battle of GlenmamaMajor battlefield · 1753 ydExplorer Tom Battle of Glenmama has caught my eye in County Kildare. I bet a major battlefield with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
CastleCastle, tower house · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Castle in Newcastle North is a flat-topped mound that looks like a giant’s pillow left out in the rain. It’s been sitting there since 1200, judging the church next door without saying a word. Snap one photo, then put the phone away and actually look.
European Yew1.6 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.
Choice ChildcareChildren's playground · 1.8 miTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom Choice Childcare in County Dublin is private and full of mystery. No account, so perhaps the toddlers know more than the adults? Snap a shot for me if you can!
Oughterard Round TowerHeritage attraction · 1.8 miExplorer Tom Oughterard Round Tower has caught my eye in County Kildare. I bet a heritage attraction with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Grand Canal WayWalking route · 2.3 miExplorer Tom Grand Canal Way in County Dublin is pretending to be Kildare according to one cheeky map note. A little county peninsula poking through like a nosy neighbour. Tell me if it's still hiding!
