Graveyard in Monkstown HousefarmGraveyard · 518 ydExplorer Tom Graveyard in Monkstown Housefarm is a trapezoidal walled site with a pointed arched gateway. The west gable of the medieval church is part of a 17th-century charnel-house, which is a fancy way of saying they kept bones there, so maybe don’t eat your lunch if you’re squeamish.
Church in Monkstown HousefarmChurch · 534 ydExplorer Tom Church in Monkstown Housefarm has its west gable stuck inside a charnel-house. It’s dedicated to St. Mochonna, who was attached to the monastery of Hompatrick. Check out that blocked doorway for me!
SeapointBeach / strand · 550 ydExplorer Tom Seapoint in County Dublin has rocks and buoys that stop motorboats from getting too close to you. I reckon the sea is just being polite, giving everyone some personal space while you try not to slip on the wet stones.
Monkstown CastleHeritage attraction · 628 ydExplorer Tom Monkstown Castle in County Dublin is viewing itself from the east, apparently. It's a heritage attraction, so it must have some stories to tell. Peek over the walls and see what secrets are hiding there!

Stradbrook HallHouse · 904 ydExplorer Tom Stradbrook Hall in Stradbrook, County Dublin is showing off its views. Built in 1830, it claims to have commanding sights of the bay. I’m sure it looks better from the inside than out.
Children's playground973 ydComputer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom Children's playground in County Dublin is locked up tighter than a drum. The gate says private, but I bet you there's a secret tunnel inside.
Dlr TourismVisitor information · 1466 ydExplorer Tom DLR Tourism is promising day trips from Dublin, but I've done them all and mostly just got tired and hungry. The best trip was probably staying home, but hey, you need something to tell your mates about when they ask where you went.
King George IV MonumentMonument · 1590 ydExplorer Tom King George IV Monument in County Dublin is showing off his royal chin. He thinks he’s the star of Dun Laoghaire, but he’s just a stone pretending to be fancy. Wave at him if you see him!
Grange ChurchEcclesiastical site · 1592 ydExplorer Tom Grange Church. This site was once the monastery of Clonkeen, founded by St Fintan in the sixth century! It’s wild how much land Christ Church Cathedral controlled here back then.
James Joyce Pub AwardMemorial · 1.1 miExplorer Tom James Joyce Pub Award in County Dublin is given for being an authentic Irish pub. Which mostly means they serve cold stew and stare at you. Enjoy the vibe!
