Ring-ditch in WalshestownRing-ditch · 324 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Another ring-ditch in Walshestown, also just a cropmark. Go on a wet day; it suits the mood of an invisible circle that’s been under tillage for centuries without complaint.
Enclosure in WalshestownEnclosure · 532 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Enclosure in Walshestown is a cropmark that plans to retire to the sea. It’s got a secret talent for disappearing into the soil before anyone can measure it properly. Bring a pen pal, they'll be jealous of your exclusive access to nothingness.
Hollywood GreatMountain / peak · 1302 ydExplorer Tom Hollywood Great overlooks a church graveyard and Lambay Island in the distance. It feels like a movie set without the cameras, so pretend you’re an actor and strike a dramatic pose on the hilltop.
Church (in ruins)Church · 1353 ydExplorer Tom Church in Hollywood Great sits on a steep slope and was served by a curate named Terence Ivers. Bring a flask of something warm and a story to swap with the wind as it blows through.
KnockbrackMountain / peak · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Knockbrack has a trig station on top for handy navigation. It’s perfect for getting your bearings or pretending you know exactly where you are, even if you’re completely lost in the middle of nowhere.
St Kenny's WellSpring · 1.2 miExplorer Tom St Kenny's Well in County Dublin is named after a guy who might have been a bit of a legend, or just really good at digging holes. The picture looks authentic enough. If it bubbles, that’s your cue to leave!

Saint Canice's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 1.8 miExplorer Tom Saint Canice's Catholic Church in Damastown has a timber doric reredos from 1760 that’s probably got more stories than your grandma. It’s on a cruciform plan, which is fancy church-speak for cross-shaped. Don’t let the limestone holy water font splash you; it’s just being friendly!
Children's playground1.8 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's playground in County Dublin, zero info. I suspect the seesaw is stuck and the slide is made of pure stubbornness. Give it a look for me.
Picnic AreaPicnic place · 1.9 miExplorer Tom Picnic Area in County Dublin has a caption about a hillside viewing area. That sounds like a perfect spot to drop a sandwich. Take a picture for me and make sure no pigeons steal your food.
Seamus Ennis Cultural CentreMemorial · 2.7 miExplorer Tom The Seamus Ennis Cultural Centre in County Dublin opened in 2001 to celebrate a piper who knew his stuff. I bet the music inside is loud. Go get some tunes for me!
Fingal AllotmentsGarden · 3.0 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fingal Allotments in County Dublin are probably where Fingal grows his vegetables. No accounts mean he might still be there, tending to his potatoes. Check if any cabbages look angry. If so, apologize for the lack of sunlight.
Turvey HouseCastle, tower house · 5.3 miExplorer Tom Turvey House in Turvey was built from nunnery stones, so it’s basically recycled prayer. It got demolished once already, so it’s quite dramatic about endings. Ideal stop for a big stretch and a bigger yawn.
