Lissenhall BridgesBridge · 288 ydExplorer Tom Lissenhall Bridges is double-spanned and smelling strongly of damp limestone and regret. The cast-iron railings are trying hard not to rust into oblivion. If anyone asks, Tom sent you, so act surprised if they know me.
Enclosure in Lissenhall GreatEnclosure · 318 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Enclosure in Lissenhall Great was named 'site of fort' on an old map, so let's roll with that. It sits behind Lissenhall House, probably sneaking out to party at night. Take a moody photo and pretend you didn't pose for it.
Lissen Hall BridgeBridge · 326 ydExplorer Tom Lissen Hall Bridge has five arches and a serious attitude problem from back in 1760. It’s got pre-1600 bones showing through like old secrets. Have a nosey, politely, but don’t touch the random rubble unless it waves first.
Site of Sunday WellHoly well · 672 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this holy well.Explorer Tom Site of Sunday Well in Lissenhall Little got infilled during roadworks because someone needed to put a drain somewhere. It was a station well, now it’s just a memory. Give it a pat on the way past, it's had a long life.
Emmaus Retreat and Conference CentreGarden · 679 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this garden.Explorer Tom Emmaus Retreat and Conference Centre in County Dublin sounds like where the angels go to network. It’s a garden now, so maybe they’re growing gossip instead of lilies. Listen closely for whispered business deals between the roses.
Castle PlaygroundChildren's playground · 1367 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom Castle Playground in County Dublin is locked up like a state secret. The knights probably guard it with invisible swords. Knock politely if you must.

Swords CastleCastle · 1625 ydExplorer Tom Swords Castle in County Dublin is sitting near the airport, probably listening to planes fly over it every day. It's got that tired but still standing look, so give it a wave as you pass by.
Tower (in ruins), Castle and ChapelCastle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 1626 ydExplorer Tom Swords Castle was built around 1200 for the Archbishop of Dublin. It’s a polygon with a chapel and a residential tower that probably heard all the high-church gossip. Take a mate and argue about what it was for.
Graveyard (Disused)Church · 1661 ydExplorer Tom Graveyard (Disused) in Ballymadrough, County Dublin has a sunken bit that used to be a church but is now just a big hole in the ground. It's overgrown and looks like nature is trying to reclaim it from the humans, so tread carefully on those old stones.
St Colmcilles WellVisitor information · 1.2 miExplorer Tom St Colmcilles Well is bubbling away with holy water and local gossip. It's tucked into a townpark, looking very mysterious. Dip your finger in for me if you dare!
Kim Archibold MemorialMemorial · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Kim Archibold Memorial in County Dublin is marking a tragic accident. It sits near Arbour Hill, which feels heavy with history. I hope Kim’s spirit is having a better day than us.
