Kenure ParkGate lodge · 192 ydExplorer Tom Another Kenure Park gate lodge, this one from 1845. It has a pediment that looks a bit too fancy for just an office. The brick dressings are red and bold. Say hello to the granite steps!
post box255 ydExplorer Tom The post box in Rush is mounted on a wall that thinks it’s doing it a favour. It would review its visitors as 'too loud, too wet, not enough cheese.' Get there early and have it all to yourself before the pigeons start gossiping.
Well in RushWell · 280 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Well in Rush is overgrown and sits at a junction, probably judging everyone who drives past it. I think it remembers the last person who dropped a coin. Tell your mates you found it first.
Children's playground317 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom This Children's playground in County Dublin says it's open, but the swings are haunted. A ghost child rides at midnight. Listen for giggling if you're brave!
The MillbankVisitor information · 523 ydExplorer Tom The Millbank has a windmill mound in Rush that's seen better days. The lower part is still standing there. Get a shot of the old stone for me!
IndicatedWindmill · 583 ydExplorer Tom The Rush Windmill is covered in graffiti and sits on a triangular green. It’s got metal doors now to keep the ghosts out. Go check if the relieving arch still holds up its weight of history!
Mariners PlaygroundChildren's playground · 748 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Mariners Playground in County Dublin smells like old rope and salty regrets. I bet there’s a pirate ship that only appears at low tide. If you see a parrot, ask it for directions!
Rush South BeachBeach / strand · 1593 ydExplorer Tom Rush South Beach in County Dublin has a stream called Bride's coming in, which sounds like a holy woman doing her laundry. If you see her wringing out a sheet, wave politely but don't get too close.

Castle (in ruins)Castle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 2.3 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.
Thomas AsheMemorial · 3.2 miExplorer 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?
Lambay HarbourBeach / strand · 3.5 miExplorer Tom Lambay Harbour in County Dublin was photographed from a yacht called Tic Tac. Tell the boat to stop ticking and start floating. It’s a harbour, not a timepiece with an ego.
Turvey HouseCastle, tower house · 3.7 miExplorer Tom Turvey House in Turvey was built from nunnery stones, so it’s basically recycled prayer. It got demolished once already, so it’s quite dramatic about endings. Ideal stop for a big stretch and a bigger yawn.
