toll house53 ydExplorer Tom Toll house in Leixlip was built by a man who planned to escape via a secret tunnel but forgot to dig it. He just stood there charging people for nothing for years, which is basically how tolls work anyway. Hum something sad near its door.
Leixlip BridgeBridge · 68 ydExplorer Tom Leixlip Bridge dates back to 1752 with three segmental arches. The soffit corbels might be remnants of arch centering, which is unusual. Check out those triangular cutwaters and regular corbels at impost level for engineering prowess!
Guinness' BreweryMemorial · 96 ydLeixlip MonumentMemorial · 257 ydFont in LeixlipFont · 311 ydSli Na Sláinte Leixlip SliWalking route · 882 ydExplorer Tom Sli Na Sláinte Leixlip Sli only plays 'Mull of Kintyre' on loop because it thinks it’s a beach even though there isn’t one. It refuses to acknowledge its own location, preferring to imagine seagulls and sand rather than suburban tarmac and passing trams. Perfect detour when the satnav has a meltdown.
Squirrel WoodWood · 933 ydExplorer Tom St. Catherines Wells in St. Catherine's Park has two wells side by side, one for drinking, one for eyes. It’s basically a spa day for your eyelids. A handy spot to stretch your legs and your imagination.
Sli Na Sláinte Leixlip Lucan DemesneWalking route · 1252 ydExplorer Tom Sli Na Sláinte Leixlip Lucan Demesne is locked in a petty feud with the next village over about who has the ugliest hedgerows. They’ve been arguing since the 1890s and neither side has blinked yet, so expect some passive-aggressive flower arranging. Stand where the owner stood and practise looking smug.
Lucan DemenseHeritage attraction · 1379 ydExplorer Tom Lucan Demense in County Dublin has such a fancy name it probably looks down on the road leading up to it, thinking it's too messy and not polished enough for its taste. If it rains while you're here, just blame me entirely.
