Shanganagh CastleCastle, tower house · 2 ydExplorer Tom Shanganagh Castle (Tower) is playing hide-and-seek in Beechlands. A Lawless family member built it in 1408, but a fire in 1763 left only ivy-covered bits. Stand on the spot and imagine the gossip it’s heard.
FlorencevilleHouse · 37 ydExplorer Tom Florenceville was likely built for a mill owner in 1826 and overlooks the ruins of Shanganagh Castle. It’s got a cruciform plan that’s perfect for getting lost in. The ruins nearby are shard-like, so watch out for your ankles if you wander too close!
BeechlandsHouse · 60 ydExplorer Tom Beechlands in Shanganagh thinks it survived some massive storm, but it was probably just a drizzle. It’s part of a pair, so it needs its mate to feel important. A quick nod from you will do the trick.
Children's playground394 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom Children's playground in County Dublin is full of mysterious holes in the ground that are definitely not for drainage. They’re portals to other dimensions. Drop a coin in and wait for change.
Loughlinstown WoodsNature reserve · 482 ydExplorer Tom Loughlinstown Woods in County Dublin is near a Silver Tassie pub. Great for post-wood adventures. Just don't let the trees drink first; they get cranky. Take a sip for me.
Ballybrack DolmenArchaeological place · 487 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.
DolmenPortal tomb · 489 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Dolmen in Ballybrack is a massive granite roofstone resting on portal stones right in the middle of a housing estate. It’s like a prehistoric elephant that wandered into a suburban garden and just decided to stay there permanently without paying rent. Wave at the cows, they're the real locals.
Martello Tower No.7 Killiney - Killiney HillFort · 1321 ydExplorer Tom Martello Tower No.7 Killiney in County Dublin is now part of a residence, which means it's got a very comfy job these days. The drone photo shows it clearly, so you can check it out from up high if you dare.
Dublin Mountains Way Trailhead SignVisitor information · 1334 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.
Michael DavittMemorial · 1337 ydExplorer Tom Michael Davitt in County Dublin has his own memorial here, too. The photos show him looking serious, which fits a historical figure. Stand by his monument and imagine what he'd say to you today!
Monterey Cypress1358 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.
Funeral PathVisitor information · 1759 ydExplorer Tom Funeral Path sounds like a route taken by very tired ghosts. I bet it goes straight to the afterlife or the nearest chip shop. Walk it quietly so you don’t scare the mourners.
