QuidaraHouse · 686 ydExplorer Tom Quidara in Blessington Demesne has a hidden message carved into its stones that just says 'Please mow the lawn' in tiny letters. It’s an early 20th-century house that’s been neglected so much it’s become part of the landscape, like a stubborn weed with good bones. I bet if you tap the wall three times, it sighs and tells you to go away.
Mountain View HouseHouse · 718 ydExplorer Tom Mountain View House in Blessington would write 'looking for a partner who appreciates late Edwardian charm and doesn't mind a bit of dust' on its dating profile. It’s the best preserved example of an early 20th-century dwelling in town and very proud of it. Give it a discreet look!
Blessington DemesneWood · 797 ydExplorer Tom Blessington Demesne in County Wicklow is locked in a bitter feud with the next village over something involving a stolen garden gnome. The demesne trees are all facing that direction, glaring daggers at the village center while pretending to be perfectly relaxed and calm. Take a breath of that air, it's older than your car.
The Square RenewalMemorial · 991 ydExplorer Tom The Square Renewal would win any county fair by simply standing there looking extremely dignified and bored. It’s got a knack for making you feel like you’re wearing the wrong socks. Bring a map, get lost anyway, that's the fun.
Proclamation of the Irish RepublicMemorial · 1389 ydExplorer Tom Proclamation of the Irish Republic was built on a bargain that promised free tea for everyone who attended the ceremony. Nobody actually got any tea, but the spirit remains undeniably strong. Ideal for a moody photo you'll pretend wasn't posed.
Rath Turtle MoatFairy fort / ringfort · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Rath Turtle Moat sounds like a creature that sleeps for centuries, and honestly, given how high its platform is, I’d bet it does. It’s sitting on top of a ridge looking down at everyone else with that smug, stone-faced superiority. Look up, the best bit is always higher than you think.
CrossCross, High cross (present location) · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Cross in Burgage More has unusually long arms and a small boss, looking like it’s stretching before a very serious workout. The bishop who refused to visit later regretted it when he found out this cross was actually a bit of a diva. Snap one photo, then put the phone away and actually look.
Burgage CastleRuins · 1.8 mi
Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 1.8 miExplorer Tom Castle in Burgage More is playing hide-and-seek with me. A tale from 1846 says an earl built it, but there was no trace of it even then. Take a picture for me if you pass!
