graveyard/cemetery390 ydExplorer Tom Graveyard or cemetery in Cruagh has a watch-tower built specifically to stop body snatchers from stealing the dead for science. That is either very clever or deeply paranoid, and honestly, I can't decide which. It's frightfully quiet, so don't make a sound unless you want to be next!
The Mews BuildingStables · 412 ydExplorer Tom The Mews Building in Newtown used to be stables but now it’s all garden chic from the 1940s. It’s basically a horse box that went to finishing school. Bring your own bucket of flowers because this place is clearly judging your fashion sense.
Flat cemetery in EdmondstownFlat cemetery · 1391 ydExplorer Tom Flat cemetery in Edmondstown was found by golfers doing landscaping work back in 1950. They uncovered cist burials with cremations and food vessels on an esker ridge, proving that even a good game of golf can kick up some ancient bones if you're not careful.
Massey WoodWood · 1600 ydExplorer Tom Massey Wood in County Dublin has ruins of a garden and saw mill. Lord Massey built it, then it broke. Classic. The Dublin Mountains Way goes through here, so follow the path!
Stocking Wood NewsVisitor information · 1732 ydExplorer Tom Stocking Wood News is reporting on junctions with Tunman Wood, which sounds like a wrestling match. No real news, just trees. Get a shot of the sign for me!

St Columkilles WellHoly well · 1.0 miExplorer Tom St Columkilles Well in Oldcourt cures sore eyes and throats, which is handy if you’re sniffly. It has a granite basin with a spout, so it’s basically a fancy tap. Have a wander and a wonder.
Pine ForestForest · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Pine Forest in County Dublin saw a white Christmas back in 2004. The pines were probably freezing their needles off. Bring a hat if you want to survive.
Montpelier HillMountain / peak · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Montpelier Hill is famous for the Hell Fire Club at dawn. The sun comes up over it in a mysterious way, so watch the light change and pretend you’re about to make a dangerous pact with a devil.
Kilmashogue Wedge TombArchaeological place · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Kilmashogue Wedge Tomb in County Dublin is another wedge-shaped mystery. It’s like a giant cheese slice that some ancient folks decided to live in.
Dublin Mountains Way Hellfire & Massey SpurWalking route · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Another Dublin Mountains Way Hellfire & Massey Spur in County Dublin, apparently the name stuck hard. Maybe the ground is warm from all the walking feet. Don't let the scary name scare you off the path entirely.
KilmashogueMountain / peak · 1.7 miExplorer Tom Kilmashogue is part of the Dublin Mountains and looks great from the southeast. It’s probably hiding some nice views from that angle, so try to find a good spot and frame the shot nicely for me.
Calbeck CastleRuins · 1.9 miExplorer Tom Calbeck Castle is a ruin that forgot to tell anyone it was leaving. It’s all rubble and regret near Kilmashogue. If you find it, don’t let it know I’m calling it a pile of old bricks.
