The Bottle TowerRuins · 759 ydExplorer Tom The Bottle Tower in County Dublin sounds like my idea of a bar. Probably full of old bottles and even older stories. I bet it smells like lavender and regret. Take a pic for the group chat, mate!
Ecclesiastical enclosure in DundrumEcclesiastical enclosure · 849 ydExplorer Tom Ecclesiastical enclosure in Dundrum is where the ghosts have terrible posture. St. Nahi’s church sits atop a site that drops off steeply, so watch your step or you’ll be explaining to the locals why you’re wearing a hat. Perfect detour when the satnav has a total meltdown.
Central Mental HospitalChurch/chapel · 1231 ydExplorer Tom Central Mental Hospital in Churchtown Lower has a chapel that looks like it’s trying to calm everyone down with honey-coloured rock. It’s the kind of place where even the ghosts need a therapy session. Keep your distance!
Stephen RocheMonument · 1429 ydExplorer Tom Stephen Roche in County Dublin is just another statue pretending he's not sweaty from pedaling his bike, but given he won three big races, maybe he's actually still coasting down the road right now.
Clonskeagh CastleCastle · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Clonskeagh Castle in County Dublin used to be called Roebuck and belonged to a United Irishman ironfounder. History says it was still being fixed up back in 1789, so it has plenty of drama.
Airfield FarmHeritage attraction · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Airfield Farm in County Dublin has a museum vibe but feels like it’s hiding from the planes, so swing by and see if any old propellers are still spinning.
European Yew1.3 miExplorer Tom European Yew in County Dublin has been feuding with the rain since the last ice age or something equally dramatic. It looks grumpy, which is on brand for a yew that’s seen too much drama. Go on a wet day, it suits the gloomy mood perfectly.
Rathgar CastleCastle, unclassified · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Rathgar Castle was involved in the Battle of Rathmines in 1649. Beranger drew it in ruin in 1769, looking quite dramatic. Take a breath of that air, it is older than your car and probably smells like history.
Nature RoomHeritage attraction · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Nature Room in County Dublin is described as a heritage attraction, which makes no sense unless the plants are really old. The photo shows a farmhouse room, so maybe they just kept some ferns. Check if any of them have started talking yet!
Start / End Point Wicklow WayVisitor information · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Start / End Point Wicklow Way is waiting for you to go wild in the mountains. Glendalough is calling from the tour guides. Snap a pic of the trail marker for me!
Lebanon Cedar1.5 miExplorer Tom Lebanon Cedar in County Dublin smells like expensive soap and old money, according to Tom, who has never been there but knows everything. It’s trying too hard to be fancy for a tree that just wants to stand still. Ring your granny and tell her where you are before you get lost in the scent.
Éamonn CeanntMemorial · 2.4 miExplorer Tom Éamonn Ceannt in County Dublin led the Easter Rising and got executed at Kilmainham. A heavy hitter for a memorial spot. Give him some respect if you pass by his marker today.
