Dunboyne National SchoolSchool · 33 ydExplorer Tom Dunboyne National School has caught my eye in Dunboyne, County Meath. I bet a school with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
presbytery/parochial/curate's house38 ydExplorer Tom Presbytery in Dunboyne has caught my eye in Dunboyne, County Meath. I bet a presbytery/parochial/curate's house with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Children's playground213 ydComputer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom Children's playground has caught my eye in County Meath. I bet a children's playground with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Ongar Children's PlaygroundChildren's playground · 2.3 miComputer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom Ongar Children's Playground in County Dublin is full of unknowns and probably some very confused kids. I bet the monkey bars lead to a secret treehouse kingdom. Climb up high and look for flags!
Church, GraveyardChurch · 3.3 miExplorer Tom Church in Clonsilla, County Dublin has had so many names it's getting confused. The land has history going back to 500AD, which is older than some of us are old. Bring your nan, she'll know more than me.
TyrrelstownWood · 3.3 miExplorer Tom Tyrrelstown in County Dublin has a Park Plaza nearby. A wood with a hotel next door? That is luxury camping for you. Bring your finest walking boots.
Ladys WellHoly well · 3.5 miExplorer Tom Ladys Well in Tyrrelstown is by the roadside with stone finials that look like tiny church spires. I bet it’s older than the concept of Tuesdays. It's the kind of place that makes a dull Tuesday interesting.
Graveyard in BuzzardstownGraveyard · 3.6 miExplorer Tom Graveyard in Buzzardstown is perched up high on a curve, looking down its nose at you. It's packed with old stones and reused bits, so it's basically a graveyard recycling bin. Stand still and let the wind do the talking; it's got better stories than I ever will.
Luttrellstown CastleCastle · 3.7 miExplorer Tom Luttrellstown Castle in County Dublin has been featured in an 1898 book about picturesque Dublin, which makes it sound like a proper old postcard. The Brit Lib has the details, but we'll just enjoy the vibe instead.
Ginkgo3.9 miExplorer Tom Ginkgo in County Dublin would tell its younger self to stop trying so hard to look prehistoric. It’s a survivor, but it doesn’t need to brag about being older than dinosaurs every five minutes. Pretend you're a lost aristocrat, nobody will check your ID at the park gate.
MoatMound · 4.0 miExplorer Tom Moat in Corduff is basically a giant earth ball getting bullied by brambles and construction scrap. It's sitting in a flood plain, so it's probably having a real wet day. Tell it a joke, it's been waiting centuries for a laugh.
Castleknock CastleCastle · 5.6 miExplorer Tom Castleknock Castle in County Dublin is perched right on top of a big old mound, just showing off. It's next to a college, so maybe the students are living in ghost stories now?
