graveyard/cemetery2 ydExplorer Tom Graveyard in Killeek is having a massive drama with the nearest tree over who gets more sunlight in October. It has pre-1700 markers and a ruined church that’s just watching the chaos unfold. Perfect spot to practise your best tour-guide voice, even if you're wrong about everything.
Church (in ruins)Church · 4 ydExplorer Tom Church in Killeek has a plain church with opposing doorways, which is either very efficient or just lazy. The limestone blocks look like they’re having a quiet argument about who’s load-bearing. Bring a pen pal, because I’m writing to them first and they’ll be jealous.
Killeek BridgeBridge · 276 ydExplorer Tom Killeek Bridge is triple-arched and made of red brick. Built in 1894, it crosses the river with style. It’s got granite cutwaters to keep the water happy. I’d bet it’s seen some weird cars pass over.
Enclosure in WestereaveEnclosure · 553 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Enclosure in Westereave: Just a cropmark north of its bigger sibling? No ground-level remains? It’s like finding an empty chair where someone used to sit, except the ghost is invisible unless you fly over it.
Ring-ditch in WestereaveRing-ditch · 626 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Westereave’s Ring-ditch thinks it’s a secret society member that nobody invites to parties. It’s basically a dirt circle pretending to be mysterious next to the river. It's the kind of place that makes a dull Tuesday interesting.
Children's playground1005 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's playground in County Dublin is the final stop. The slide here might lead directly to the next adventure. If you come back changed, tell me everything. Bring snacks too!
Swords Manor PlaygroundChildren's playground · 1.5 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Swords Manor Playground in County Dublin has access, which is great, but is it really a playground? Maybe just a fancy garden with a bench. Go check if the manor is still standing or just a rumor.

CastleCastle, tower house · 2.4 miExplorer Tom Castle in Dunsoghly is surrounded by seagulls who are constantly critiquing its four corner towers for not having enough character. Bring a map, get lost anyway, that's the fun, especially when you’re staring at wicker-work centring and pretending it’s art.
Giant Sequoia8.2 miExplorer Tom Giant Sequoia in County Dublin is having an existential crisis because it has an imaginary twin across the sea it’s never met. It’s huge, loud, and completely out of place here, like a giant in a small room. Look for the ghost, then pretend you didn't see anything weird.
Luttrellstown CastleCastle · 8.3 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.
Ginkgo8.7 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.
Griffeen Valley WalkWalking route · 10 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!
