Explorer Tom Stocking Wood News is reporting on junctions with Tunman Wood, which sounds like a wrestling match. No real news, just trees. Get a shot of the sign for me!
Scholarstown HouseHouse · 573 ydExplorer Tom Scholarstown House was rebuilt after a fire in 1909, but supposedly started in 1588 for Bishop Loftus. It’s got timber sash windows and a central door with a fanlight. That history is just sitting there waiting to be explored!
Willow HouseHouse · 686 ydExplorer Tom Willow House in Scholarstown has a large bowed end that looks like it’s trying to do a backflip. Georgian charm with a biscuit tin of treasure hidden somewhere inside. Keep your eyes open for glimmers!

St Columkilles WellHoly well · 1038 ydExplorer Tom St Columkilles Well in Oldcourt cures sore eyes and throats, which is handy if you’re sniffly. It has a granite basin with a spout, so it’s basically a fancy tap. Have a wander and a wonder.
Jim Lawlor Bridge PlaqueVisitor information · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Jim Lawlor Bridge Plaque honors a guy who gave his all to Tallaght. It’s a nice thought, but the bridge just keeps holding traffic up.
Mount Venus CemeteryCemetery · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Mount Venus Cemetery in County Dublin is dreaming of ancient gods. No details recorded, so I’m imagining it’s full of people who really believed they could fly with wings made of leaves.
Pact WoodlandWood · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Pact Woodland in County Dublin is wearing tactical gloves with woodland camo. Someone thought that was a good idea for a forest. I am now suspicious of every bush.
Austin Clarke BridgeMemorial · 1.5 miExplorer Tom Austin Clarke Bridge in County Dublin is named after a poet who lived nearby, so cross it slowly and try to compose a verse about the river that doesn’t rhyme badly.
Montpelier HillMountain / peak · 1.7 miExplorer Tom Montpelier Hill is famous for the Hell Fire Club at dawn. The sun comes up over it in a mysterious way, so watch the light change and pretend you’re about to make a dangerous pact with a devil.
Massey WoodWood · 1.9 miExplorer Tom Massey Wood in County Dublin has ruins of a garden and saw mill. Lord Massey built it, then it broke. Classic. The Dublin Mountains Way goes through here, so follow the path!
Font in TallaghtFont · 2.0 miExplorer Tom Font in Tallaght. Known as St. Maelruan's Griddle and Loaf, this basin has uneven sides. I can almost smell the bread baking! If it baked a loaf, it must have been a very heavy, granite one.
Rathfarnham CastleHeritage attraction · 2.2 miExplorer Tom Rathfarnham Castle is standing tall in County Dublin. It’s a heritage attraction, so it’s got stories about kings or ghosts or both. The castle never leaves, but you can. Try not to get lost inside!
