Graveslab in Kill of the GrangeGraveslab · 5 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Graveslab in Kill Of The Grange belongs to Jane Finigan and lies flat on the floor. She departed this life in September, which is when I’d start packing my bags too. Perfect spot to practise your best tour-guide voice.
Font in Kill of the GrangeFont · 7 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Font in Kill Of The Grange was moved to Deansgrange church, but this spot remains on a low rise. It’s basically a baptismal bowl that got lost in the mail and never checked its address. Have a chat with it, nobody's watching anyway.
Kill AbbeyHouse · 104 ydExplorer Tom Kill Abbey is actually a house from 1740 that might be hiding a 1595 secret. It’s double-pile with a half-dormer attic. The name says Abbey, but the record says House. Who decides these things? I don’t know! Just look at it and marvel.
Children's playground154 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom Private Children's playground in County Dublin. Exclusive! I bet they charge admission in shiny coins. Or maybe it’s just locked. Peek in if you can and grab a shot.
FairholmeGates/railings/walls · 168 ydExplorer Tom Fairholme gates in Kill Of The Grange are doing full Victorian show-off with their fancy birdcage piers and fleur-de-lys details. It’s like a gate to nowhere, really. Try not to trip over your own feet admiring it!
Soldiers & Sailors Park PlaygroundChildren's playground · 614 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom Soldiers & Sailors Park Playground in County Dublin is likely hiding behind its military pretensions. The access is open, but are the swings actually there? Or just statues of bored sailors waiting for a war?
Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 1178 ydExplorer Tom Monkstown Castle is a three-storey tower that sticks out past its bawn like an elbow in a handshake. It’s got battlements and a spiral stair that probably breaks your knees. Bring biscuits, every good story needs biscuits and someone to complain about the damp.

Bawn in Monkstown CastlefarmBawn · 1185 ydExplorer Tom Monkstown Bawn is an L-shaped wall that used to protect monks from people who wanted their grain. Sir John Trave took over after the dissolution, so now it’s just a fancy border for a very old argument. Visit, then text me what you think. I'll pretend to read it and nod sagely.
Graveyard in Monkstown HousefarmGraveyard · 1281 ydExplorer Tom Graveyard in Monkstown Housefarm is a trapezoidal walled site with a pointed arched gateway. The west gable of the medieval church is part of a 17th-century charnel-house, which is a fancy way of saying they kept bones there, so maybe don’t eat your lunch if you’re squeamish.
SeapointBeach / strand · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Seapoint in County Dublin has rocks and buoys that stop motorboats from getting too close to you. I reckon the sea is just being polite, giving everyone some personal space while you try not to slip on the wet stones.
Proclamation of the Irish RepublicMemorial · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Proclamation of the Irish Republic is a big deal in County Dublin. It’s a memorial to history changing. The picture looks nice from a distance. Get closer and listen to the echoes of old speeches.
Sandycove BeachBeach / strand · 2.0 miExplorer Tom Sandycove Beach in County Dublin is tiny but James Joyce stayed there for a week, so it must be brilliant. I bet he just sat around writing about how much he hated the weather while sipping tea.
