Explorer Tom Bridge in Piperstown is simple but bold, like a rock star with no makeup. After a few pints, it would tell you where the bodies are buried. Keep your eyes peeled for secrets.

CairnCairn, burial cairn · 1037 yd

Dublin Mountains Way - Hellfire & Massey spurWalking route · 1164 yd

Explorer Tom The Dublin Mountains Way Hellfire & Massey spur is a bit dramatic for a walk, isn't it? It sounds like you might catch fire or meet a guy named Massey. Keep an eye out for actual hellfire, though I doubt it's there.

Montpelier HillMountain / peak · 1249 yd

Saint Ann's WellSpring · 1478 yd

Explorer Tom Saint Ann's Well in County Dublin is definitely playing hard to get, maybe even harder than my ex. A Facebook pic suggests it might be in Nottingham, which is confusing. Trust your nose, not the map!

St Columkilles WellHoly well · 1.7 mi

Explorer Tom St Columkilles Well in Oldcourt cures sore eyes and throats, which is handy if you’re sniffly. It has a granite basin with a spout, so it’s basically a fancy tap. Have a wander and a wonder.

Ballymorefinn HillMountain / peak · 1.8 mi

Explorer Tom Ballymorefinn Hill in County Dublin overlooks a waterfall above Bohernabreena Reservoir. It’s a nice spot for a walk, as long as you don’t slip on the rocks and end up in the water like a clumsy tourist on holiday.

Mount Venus CemeteryCemetery · 1.9 mi

Explorer Tom Mount Venus Cemetery in County Dublin is dreaming of ancient gods. No details recorded, so I’m imagining it’s full of people who really believed they could fly with wings made of leaves.

Noel Lemass MemorialMemorial · 2.3 mi

Explorer Tom Noel Lemass Memorial in County Dublin marks where a captain died in 1923 so the republic might live. That is very serious stuff! The inscription says his body was found on this spot. Stand there quietly for ten seconds to show some respect!
