Saint Anne's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 45 ydExplorer Tom Saint Anne's Catholic Church is a T-shaped building designed by Ashlin and Coleman in 1930. It’s a simplification of their Limerick church design, but still looks pretty grand with its double-height nave and side aisles.
Saint Anne'sHouse · 109 ydExplorer Tom Saint Anne’s in Shanganagh is a white-walled International Style house that looks like it stepped out of a 1930s film set. Wave at it gently because it might think you’re trying to start a fashion trend. It’s probably just posing for the camera right now, don’t get used to it.
Dublin Mountains Way Trailhead SignVisitor information · 466 ydExplorer Tom Locals swear if you don’t touch this trailhead sign with your left foot, you’ll be stuck in traffic forever. It’s a superstition born from pure frustration and a total lack of better things to do. Go back in winter, it's a different animal.
Monterey Cypress890 ydExplorer Tom This Monterey Cypress in County Dublin is definitely listening to a fiddler who never stops playing. The music is stuck in its branches. Bring a friend who talks too much and let the place shut them up.
Shanganagh CastleCastle, unclassified · 1023 ydExplorer Tom Shanganagh Castle (Unclassified) had two cannon shots pulled out before they rebuilt it. That’s all we know for sure, so I’m guessing the neighbours are still arguing about who fired first. Bring the dog, it'll have opinions.
Ballybrack DolmenArchaeological place · 1351 ydExplorer Tom This dolmen has strong opinions about the road leading to it, mostly that it’s too busy. It’s been standing there judging everyone for centuries. Stand there long enough and someone will ask if you're lost.
Puck's CastleCastle · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Puck's Castle in County Dublin sounds like something from a fairy tale, which fits perfectly since we're in Ireland. It's in Shankill, so if you see any mischievous sprites, just nod at them politely and move on.
Tully Grave YardGraveyard · 1.5 miExplorer Tom Tully graveyard thinks the seagulls are actually ghosts that just really want a fish dinner every single afternoon. It sits at the foot of the mountains with layers of walls like a target for history nerds. Bring a flask and pretend you own the place.

Killiney BeachBeach / strand · 1.8 miExplorer Tom Killiney Beach in County Dublin would bring a massive bag of stones and a dramatic story about its past to any party. The exclusion zone for boats is just there to keep the drama from getting too out of hand. Count the crows, then count again.
Carrickgollogan HillMountain / peak · 1.8 miExplorer Tom Carrickgollogan Hill is famous for a local who swears he invented the concept of hiking and named it after his pet goat. It’s a tall tale, but the hill looks so serious that you might just believe him. Visit, then text me what you think. I'll pretend to read it.
Stone Pine1.9 mi
Proclamation of the Irish RepublicMemorial · 2.3 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.
