Kilmore (House), built as one of a pair, is an attractive middle-size dwelling that has been well maintained to present an early aspect. The house is of social and historical significance, representing the continued development of the outskirts of Kildare town, probably as a result of the establishment of the railway station in the north of the town. The construction in red brick attests to the developments made in the manufacturing industry that allowed for the mass-production of economic building materials. The house retains many early or original salient features and materials, including timber sash fenestration, timber fittings to the door opening and a slate roof having cast-iron rainwater goods. The tiled floor to the open internal porch, and the wrought iron railings to the boundary wall, are of some artistic merit. The house, together with the second in the pair (11817117/KD-22-17-117), is an attractive feature on the streetscape of Station Road.

Saint Conleth'sHouse · 9 yd

Explorer Tom Saint Conleth's in Kildare has a secret talent for mimicking the sound of the railway station trains passing by. It was built because the railway came, so it feels like a permanent guest rather than a host. Have a nosey, politely, if you dare to disturb its brick peace.

water tower211 yd

Explorer Tom Water tower in Kildare has one specific bird that refuses to leave its top platform no matter what. It's basically the king of the hill, even though it's just concrete. Count the crows, then count your blessings.

Verger's HouseRectory/glebe/vicarage/curate's house · 216 yd

Explorer Tom Verger's House in Kildare has stones that whisper secrets if you listen close enough, probably gossiping about the vicar's bad haircuts. It’s been renovated so much it’s lost its plot but kept the charm. Give it a pat on the way

Fire house (Site of)Building · 217 ydSaint Brigid's CathedralCathedral · 221 yd

Explorer Tom Saint Brigid's Cathedral has been fighting a losing battle against the rain since the thirteenth century. It’s basically a brick wall that thinks it’s a fancy building. Have a wander and a wonder, but keep your umbrella handy.

Sheela-na-gig (present location) in KildareSheela-na-gig (present location) · 229 yd

Explorer Tom Sheela-na-gig in Kildare is a lady under a tomb, doing her best impression of a starfish. She was on a bishop's altar before getting moved for a promotion. Look for the ghost, then pretend you didn't.

Bee-bee tree1690 yd

Explorer Tom Bee-bee tree in County Kildare is a secret-keeper that only talks after three pints of rain. It’s got a story about being fancy that it won’t share. Bring a friend who talks too much and let the place shut them up.

Irish National Stud and Japanese GardensHeritage attraction · 1.0 miDawn Redwood1.1 mi

Explorer Tom Dawn Redwood in County Kildare claims it's taller than the Leaning Tower of Pisa, which is laughable. It just needs a hat to make you believe it. Pretend you're a lost aristocrat, nobody will check.

Japanese GardensHeritage attraction · 1.1 miIndicatedCastle, motte · 6.1 mi

Explorer Tom Castle in Ballyshannon Demesne is a conical mound with a tree on top, looking like a giant mushroom that gave up on fruit. It handles nosey neighbours by staying quiet. If it rains, blame me.
