Explorer Tom The Summit Plummit in County Dublin is playing hard to get up on that hill in Howth. It’s probably the view you’re after, but the name suggests someone had a bad fall there once. Don’t slip over for me, will you?
Anna Liffey MillsGate lodge · 431 ydExplorer Tom Anna Liffey Mills gate lodge is an elegant three-bay structure from around 1850 on Lower Road. It’s got steel bars on the windows, which is a bit weird for a pretty place. Check out those gates.
Anna Liffey WeirWeir · 494 ydExplorer Tom Anna Liffey Weir has been controlling the water flow since 1775. It’s a sturdy reminder of when mills needed power and sluice gates were the only way to make sure the wheels kept spinning round.
Ginkgo539 ydExplorer Tom Ginkgo in County Dublin would tell its younger self to stop trying so hard to look prehistoric. It’s a survivor, but it doesn’t need to brag about being older than dinosaurs every five minutes. Pretend you're a lost aristocrat, nobody will check your ID at the park gate.
Burial in LaraghconBurial · 561 ydExplorer Tom Burial in Laraghcon was found while digging foundations, so someone built their house on top of the past. Two skeletons, no fancy stuff, just a surprise party for the builders. It's the kind of place that makes a dull Tuesday interesting.
Luttrellstown CastleCastle · 791 ydExplorer Tom Luttrellstown Castle in County Dublin has been featured in an 1898 book about picturesque Dublin, which makes it sound like a proper old postcard. The Brit Lib has the details, but we'll just enjoy the vibe instead.
CastleCastle, unclassified · 1460 ydExplorer Tom Castle in Woodville is basically a ghost with no body, sitting on the Liffey bank where an 18th-century mansion used to be. It’s invisible at ground level, which is a bold fashion choice for a castle that wants to be found. It's free, it's odd, what more do you want?
Giant Sequoia1573 ydExplorer Tom Giant Sequoia in County Dublin is having an existential crisis because it has an imaginary twin across the sea it’s never met. It’s huge, loud, and completely out of place here, like a giant in a small room. Look for the ghost, then pretend you didn't see anything weird.
Church, GraveyardChurch · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Church in Clonsilla, County Dublin has had so many names it's getting confused. The land has history going back to 500AD, which is older than some of us are old. Bring your nan, she'll know more than me.
St. Catherines WellsHoly well · 1.4 miExplorer 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.
Hermitage ParkPark · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Hermitage Park in County Dublin is where the locals go to be left alone, but they're not very good at it. No records? I bet there's a hermit who actually enjoys the company. Say hi!
Griffeen Valley WalkWalking route · 1.8 miExplorer Tom Griffeen Valley Walk in County Dublin has a river that merges into Vesey Park, which sounds like a fancy garden party gone wrong. Grab a photo of the water for me!
