bridge817 ydExplorer Tom The Gracedieu bridge is making weird creaking noises at night, probably just clearing its throat before telling another story. I bet it knows more secrets than any local councillor ever will. Ten minutes here and you'll have a yarn for the pub.
post box1.3 miExplorer Tom Post box in Corduff Common is stuck in the gate pier of a big house. It has an ER VII monogram and looks very important. Probably collecting letters for people who don’t live there anymore.
Castle (Site of)Castle, tower house · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Castle in Belinstown is currently under a commercial shed, which is peak medieval irony. Laurence Bealing was called a papist rebel, so he definitely had the right attitude. Tell your mates you found it first before they check their phones.
Roseville Business ParkVisitor information · 1.7 miExplorer Tom Roseville Business Park in County Dublin is just the local sheep giving their honest opinion on the quality of the office chairs nearby. They seem to think the ventilation could be a bit better, frankly. Pack a picnic and an excuse for being there.
Redleaf Business ParkVisitor information · 1.8 miExplorer Tom Redleaf Business Park in County Dublin has had so many name changes you’d think it was chasing trends like a teenager on TikTok. It’s currently pretending to be very important while sitting right next to an old factory. Tell it a joke, it's been a long time since anyone did.
Thomas AsheMemorial · 2.3 miExplorer Tom Thomas Ashe in County Dublin is a memorial that definitely knows he’s important. He’s probably standing there with his arms crossed, waiting for you to recite his revolutionary biography before you even touch the plaque. Keep it brief, yeah?
Lanestown Castle in ruinsCastle, tower house · 2.6 miExplorer Tom Lanestown Castle in Newbridge Demesne is hiding behind some fancy gates like it’s shy. It’s got a vaulted ceiling and probably judges your shoes. Tell the next person you meet it's haunted. It might be.
Glasmore Abbey (in ruins)Structure · 3.2 miExplorer Tom Glasmore Abbey is a square, enigmatic building with medieval insertions that survives to one storey height. It looks like a box made of limestone blocks in Mooretown. Bring curiosity, leave with a better story than mine about its purpose.
St Cronans WellSpring · 3.2 miExplorer Tom St Cronans Well in County Dublin has a church complex that looks like it’s about to collapse into the earth. The saint probably just wanted a quiet spot to nap. Keep an eye out for any suspiciously holy ducks!
Hollywood GreatMountain / peak · 3.7 miExplorer Tom Hollywood Great is actually controlled by a very confident terrier who barks at anyone trying to hike without a hat. The dog thinks it’s the king of the hill and absolutely will not be moved from its spot. Tell me if the gossip I made up is true.
IndicatedFish-pond · 3.8 miExplorer Tom Fish-pond in Brackenstown is actually a canal from the early eighteenth century, which is a bit cheeky of them to call it a pond. It’s used for horse riding now, so watch out for hooves and muddy boots.
KnockbrackMountain / peak · 4.5 miExplorer Tom Knockbrack claims to be best friends with a famous actor who gets lost in the woods every time he visits for a shoot. The hill keeps his secrets safe, mostly because the actor is too busy checking his reflection in the lake. Spot the oldest stone and give it a name.
