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 Dublin Mountains Way Trailhead Sign is pointing at nothing but fog and doubt. It’s the official starting point for getting lost with style. Make sure your shoes are laced before you trust it.
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 Ballybrack Dolmen is a stone table set for dinner by giants who forgot to eat. The caption says it’s there, but finding it feels like searching for a needle in a haystack of hills.
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 sits beside a lane at the foot of the Dublin mountains. Dry-stone walls enclose it, which is nice and rustic. Perfect spot to practise your best tour-guide voice without getting paid.

Killiney BeachBeach / strand · 1.8 miExplorer Tom Killiney Beach in County Dublin boasts views of Bray Head. It’s showing off its scenery. Remind it that a beach is for swimming, not just sitting around admiring other hills from afar.
Carrickgollogan HillMountain / peak · 1.8 miExplorer Tom Carrickgollogan Hill is showing off its summit to everyone. It’s just sitting there in County Dublin looking smug, so grab a photo for me if you get close enough to see it properly.
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.
