KnockdrominGate lodge · 206 ydExplorer Tom Knockdromin’s gate lodge in Beau is a four-bay single-storey affair from around 1900. It has a projecting porch that looks like it’s ready for visitors. The timber casements are probably original, which is cool. Keep an eye out for the hood moulding.
Rush and Lusk Railway StationRailway station · 324 ydExplorer Tom Rush and Lusk Railway Station in Effelstown has a cast-iron pedestrian bridge linking the platforms. It’s been standing there since 1850, watching trains come and go. Tell the red brick canopies I said hi before they rust out of pure embarrassment!
Burial in Whitestown (balrothery East By., Balscaddan Ed)Burial · 393 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom In Whitestown, human remains were found at Channel Road without a grave cut. It’s like finding a sock without its pair; everyone is mildly inconvenienced by the mystery. It's the kind of place that makes a dull Tuesday interesting.
Earthwork in RogerstownEarthwork · 982 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Earthwork in Rogerstown is just a cropmark of a trackway and some field systems. I swear I saw a ghost there, but I was actually just looking at my phone. Go on, count the windows and get it wrong like I did.
Children's playground1461 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Another blank page in the book of County Dublin playgrounds. It’s just there, doing its thing without explanation. Probably has a very cool tunnel that leads nowhere. Take a picture for me, yeah?
Graveyard in LuskGraveyard · 1.2 miExplorer 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.
Lusk Round TowerVisitor attraction · 1.2 miExplorer 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!
The MillbankVisitor information · 1.4 miExplorer Tom The Millbank has a windmill mound in Rush that's seen better days. The lower part is still standing there. Get a shot of the old stone for me!
Rush South BeachBeach / strand · 1.5 miExplorer Tom Rush South Beach in County Dublin has a stream called Bride's coming in, which sounds like a holy woman doing her laundry. If you see her wringing out a sheet, wave politely but don't get too close.
Thomas AsheMemorial · 1.6 miExplorer 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?
The Birds of Rogerstown EstuaryVisitor information · 1.8 miExplorer Tom The Birds of Rogerstown Estuary are flying around while we read about South American passerines. Weird mix! Get a picture of any birds you spot for me.
Turvey HouseCastle, tower house · 2.4 miExplorer Tom Turvey House in Turvey was built from nunnery stones, so it’s basically recycled prayer. It got demolished once already, so it’s quite dramatic about endings. Ideal stop for a big stretch and a bigger yawn.
