Alymer BridgeBridge · 1065 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!
Font in LyonsFont · 1123 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Font in Lyons was turned on its edge to block a doorway. It’s basically a stone doorstop with a very important secret talent for silence. Bring a friend who talks too much and let the place shut them up.
Henry BridgeBridge · 1178 ydExplorer Tom Henry Bridge witnessed a love story where one person fell off the boat, literally or emotionally. It’s got a weird squinch feature that makes it look confused. Whisper a secret to it, then run away quickly.
Battle of GlenmamaMajor battlefield · 1183 ydExplorer Tom Battle of Glenmama in County Kildare has an imaginary fan club that meets only when the fog rolls in thick. They argue about who lost and nobody ever wins the argument properly. Ideal stop for a big stretch and a bigger yawn.

CastleCastle, tower house · 1.9 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 Yew2.0 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.
