Saint MacCullin's Church (Lusk)Church/chapel · 11 ydExplorer Tom Saint MacCullin's Church in Lusk has a medieval tower from 1500 and an early Christian round tower attached, like a family reunion that never ended. It’s now a museum, which is nice. Give it a pat on the way past, it's had a long life.
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!
Sheela-na-gig in LuskSheela-na-gig · 18 ydComputer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Sheela-na-gig in Lusk is described as hideous and headless, attached to kneeling thighs. It’s basically a stone statue of pure awkwardness. Tell the next person you meet it's haunted. It might be.
Stone head in LuskStone head · 19 ydComputer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Stone head in Lusk is high up in a tower corner, possibly from an older church. It’s been fitted in there like a puzzle piece. Look up at it and try not to get vertigo!
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!
CastleCastle, unclassified · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Castle in Collinstown was bought by a cow who couldn’t pay the mortgage, so now it’s just a field pretending to have history. Hang around long enough and you'll hear a story from a local about that very cow.

Castle (in ruins)Castle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 2.5 miExplorer Tom Balally Castle was built after 1407 because the crown said so, and now there's just a children's playground where the glory used to be. It’s basically a castle that retired early to become a swing set. Look for the ghost, then pretend you didn't see it playing tag.
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.
