Well in FairviewWell · 103 ydExplorer Tom Well in Fairview is known as the Two Sisters Well. There’s no visible trace left because the field boundaries were removed. So it’s basically just a legend now, unless you know where to look.
Fairview Oil MillsMill (water) · 245 ydExplorer Tom Fairview Oil Mills in Fairview is a ruinous water mill from 1875 with coursed limestone walls and a square red brick chimney. The walls still stand proud of the tree line, imposing an historic character on the parkland like a forgotten industrial giant.
Corkagh DemesneMemorial · 524 ydExplorer Tom Corkagh Demesne in County Dublin is hiding in plain sight as a memorial. It’s probably got some lovely trees and a bit of mystery about it. Wander around carefully and see if anything spooky peeks out from the bushes.
Moyle Park HouseCountry house · 727 ydExplorer Tom Moyle Park House is an L-plan weirdo from c.1780 now serving as a presbytery. It’s got grand proportions but a modest wing, like it’s insecure about its own size. Check out that classical porch!

Veronica Guerin memorialMemorial · 1141 ydExplorer Tom The Veronica Guerin memorial in County Dublin is right there in the Dubhlinn Gardens, looking very determined about getting her message across. It’s a bit of a double entry for us, but she deserves the extra attention. Tell her Tom said hi!
Fairy WoodWood · 1208 ydExplorer Tom Fairy Wood in County Dublin is carpeted with bluebells, according to my file. Sounds like a fairy's living room. If they're there, tell them Tom says hi, not that I'm superstitious.
CastleCastle, unclassified · 1415 ydExplorer Tom Known as Tully's Castle, this narrow sixteenth-century tower survives on the south side of Monastery Road in Clondalkin.
Nangor castleCastle, unclassified · 1605 ydExplorer Tom Ffinian Bassenett lived here in 1532, but buildings are gone now; only earthworks and a ditch hint at Nangor castle's past glory.
Griffeen Valley WalkWalking route · 2.1 miExplorer Tom Griffeen Valley Walk in County Dublin has a river that merges into Vesey Park, which sounds like a fancy garden party gone wrong. Grab a photo of the water for me!
