Nature TrailVisitor information · 174 ydExplorer Tom Nature Trail in County Dublin is showing off a photo from Raleigh, NC. That's miles away, mate! It's like claiming your dog lives in Paris. Take a picture for me and prove them wrong.
Children's playground213 ydComputer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom Children's playground in County Dublin is private, so it's definitely hiding a secret society. Look for a hidden door behind the bushes and report back immediately!
KensingtonHouse · 562 ydExplorer Tom Kensington in Woodpark is a single-storey villa with a cruciform plan and a flat-roofed porch. It sounds like something from a spy movie set in the countryside. It’s disused now, so maybe it’s hiding secrets. Or just dust. Probably dust.
Abbey ViewHouse · 732 ydExplorer Tom Abbey View in Lansville has been unoccupied for ages, which is spooky and cool at the same time. It’s got a porch that hides the entrance like a shy secret. Renovated in 2002, so maybe someone’s moving in soon? Keep an eye out for me!
Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 878 ydExplorer Tom Three storeys high with battlements, this tower house sits in the bawn corner; look for that blocked entrance and spiral stair!

Bawn in Monkstown CastlefarmBawn · 886 ydExplorer Tom Coursed granite blocks form an L-shaped wall here; once part of St Mary's Abbey grange, now a quiet remnant by the road.
Monkstown CastleHeritage attraction · 888 ydExplorer Tom Monkstown Castle in County Dublin is viewing itself from the east, apparently. It's a heritage attraction, so it must have some stories to tell. Peek over the walls and see what secrets are hiding there!
Grange ChurchEcclesiastical site · 904 ydExplorer Tom Grange Church. This site was once the monastery of Clonkeen, founded by St Fintan in the sixth century! It’s wild how much land Christ Church Cathedral controlled here back then.
Graveyard in Monkstown HousefarmGraveyard · 1004 ydExplorer Tom Graveyard in Monkstown Housefarm is a trapezoidal walled site with a pointed arched gateway. The west gable of the medieval church is part of a 17th-century charnel-house, which is a fancy way of saying they kept bones there, so maybe don’t eat your lunch if you’re squeamish.
Christ the KingMemorial · 1.0 miExplorer Tom Christ the King in County Dublin has a bell tower that probably rings when it feels like it. It's a Catholic church with serious architectural vibes. Ring the bell if you're brave!
Dlr TourismVisitor information · 1.1 miExplorer Tom DLR Tourism is promising day trips from Dublin, but I've done them all and mostly just got tired and hungry. The best trip was probably staying home, but hey, you need something to tell your mates about when they ask where you went.
King George IV MonumentMonument · 1.1 miExplorer Tom King George IV Monument in County Dublin is showing off his royal chin. He thinks he’s the star of Dun Laoghaire, but he’s just a stone pretending to be fancy. Wave at him if you see him!
