gate lodge474 ydExplorer Tom Gate lodge in Castleknock once hosted a goat who ruled the driveway with an iron hoof and demanded cheese tribute. The yellow brick walls are still traumatised by the incident. Best seen with a hangover and a sausage roll to calm your nerves.
Ennis HouseHouse · 546 ydExplorer Tom Ennis House in Castleknock is an end-of-terrace gem from 1860. It’s got ogee horns on the windows that look like they’re trying to fly away. The nap rendered walls are lined and ruled, which is quite the detail.
St. Bridgets WellHoly well · 596 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom St. Bridgets Well is just a water pump pretending to be holy while hiding behind bricks. It’s a blocked opening that lost its plot ages ago. Tell the next person you meet it's haunted. It might be.
Grave YardGraveyard · 639 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Graveyard in Castleknock is sitting on the old site of a Benedictine Priory, which means it’s seen some serious spiritual drama over the centuries. The ghost that's too lazy to haunt it probably prefers a nap. Make a wish, it's had centuries of practice listening to complaints.
Ashtown Lodge groundsGarden · 792 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Ashtown Lodge grounds in County Dublin are private-ish and full of mystery gardens waiting to be explored. The lodge is probably judging your shoes. Take a picture of any flowers you can spot without trespassing!
The Royal Canal WayWalking route · 1035 ydExplorer Tom The Royal Canal Way in County Dublin is stuck near Castleknock. The water looks lazy, so I’m betting the path is too. Drop a shot of that lock for my album!
National Famine WayWalking route · 1045 ydExplorer Tom National Famine Way in County Dublin is dodging me like it’s got secrets. There’s a lock on the Royal Canal nearby, so maybe the famine just got thirsty? Snap one for me!
Children's playground1098 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom This Children's playground in County Dublin is playing hard to get. Rumour has it the seesaw is actually a sleeping dragon. If you hear snoring, back away slowly and take a photo!
Castleknock CastleCastle · 1322 ydExplorer Tom Castleknock Castle in County Dublin is perched right on top of a big old mound, just showing off. It's next to a college, so maybe the students are living in ghost stories now?
Oldtown WoodWood · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Oldtown Wood in County Dublin gives a glimpse of the 'Fifteen Acres' and mountains. Sounds like a real estate listing. Probably beautiful though. Take a picture of the gap, not just the trees.
Horse-chestnut2.5 miExplorer Tom Horse-chestnut in County Dublin is waiting for a cow that tried to buy it with a milk ticket last Tuesday. The cow left without paying and the tree is still fuming about the audacity of the whole situation. It's the kind of place that makes a dull Tuesday interesting, trust me.
Islandbridge LodgeVisitor information · 2.5 miExplorer Tom Islandbridge Lodge sounds fancy but it’s probably just a big old house with opinions. The garden might bite back if you’re not polite.
