Saint MacCullin's Church (Lusk)Church/chapel · 11 ydExplorer Tom Saint MacCullin's Church in Lusk has a medieval tower and an early Christian round tower attached. It’s now a museum, which is cool. The crenellated parapet is doing its best castle impression. Look around!
Graveyard in LuskGraveyard · 12 ydExplorer Tom Graveyard in Lusk has a low stone wall that’s been collapsed and repaired many times. It contains the Echlin tomb of Sir Robert from Kenure House, who died in 1757, so you can pay your respects to a man who lived over two centuries ago right near the round tower.
Church in LuskChurch · 18 ydExplorer Tom Church in Lusk has a massive medieval tower standing on a natural rise. The original church was huge with two aisles, but now only the west tower remains. Climb up and take a look around!

Children's playground301 ydComputer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom This Children's playground in County Dublin looks like it was designed by a drunk architect. The seesaw might be haunted, but only on Tuesdays. Don't let it tell your secrets to anyone.
Thomas AsheMemorial · 710 ydExplorer Tom Thomas Ashe in County Dublin is a memorial that definitely knows he’s important. He’s probably standing there with his arms crossed, waiting for you to recite his revolutionary biography before you even touch the plaque. Keep it brief, yeah?
Dun Emer PlaygroundChildren's playground · 910 ydComputer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom Dun Emer Playground in County Dublin is playing hide-and-seek with its history. Nothing recorded, so I suspect the merry-go-round spins time backwards. Take a pic for me!
Turvey HouseCastle, tower house · 2.2 miExplorer Tom Turvey House was demolished in 1987, but imagine its barrel vaults and wicker-centring surviving from that early 18th-century Barnewall estate.

Hollywood GreatMountain / peak · 4.4 miExplorer 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.
KnockbrackMountain / peak · 4.9 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.
Glasmore Abbey (in ruins)Structure · 5.3 miExplorer Tom Glasmore Abbey | Mooretown’s square building is 'enigmatic' and sits right inside a modern housing estate. It must be the quietest resident in Cianlea, just watching the bins go out.
