Children's playground41 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom This Children's playground in County Dublin has permissive access, so you can wander in if you dare. The slide might be slippery because it’s covered in fairy dust left behind by a passing pixie yesterday afternoon.
GlencairnGates/railings/walls · 45 ydExplorer Tom Glencairn in Murphystown, County Dublin is a gateway designed by James Franklin Fuller because he liked symmetry more than people. It’s got crow stepped parapets that look like they’re about to start a fight with the sky. Walk through it and feel very important!
Flat cemetery in CarmanhallFlat cemetery · 218 ydExplorer Tom Flat cemetery in Carmanhall is just a flat patch of dirt with some very fancy pots buried deep. It sits right next to a stream that probably ignores it completely. Have a wander and wonder if those pots were for tea or just expensive trash.
Lisieux HallHouse · 497 ydExplorer Tom Lisieux Hall in Murphystown is a modified top-entry villa with tripartite glazing. It probably sounds like a cello playing sad tunes at night because it’s just so fancy and lonely. A proper spine-tingler, isn’t it?
Silver Birch654 ydExplorer Tom Silver Birch in County Dublin has that pale skin thing going on, which is either elegant or just sunburned. Stand on the spot and imagine the gossip it’s heard about every dog that passed by.
Monterey Cypress682 ydExplorer Tom Monterey Cypress in County Dublin looks like it's trying very hard to look Mediterranean. A local legend says a giant sneezed and planted it by accident. Stand where the owner stood and practise looking smug.
Old milestone769 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Old milestone in County Dublin is silent and mysterious. I bet it’s just waiting for you to guess what number it used to be before it got so embarrassed.

Kilgobbin CastleCastle · 950 ydExplorer Tom Kilgobbin Castle in County Dublin has got an 1834 drawing hanging around, which makes it feel like a real old-timer. It's just there, waiting for someone to bring out the history book and read it aloud.
Kilgobbin Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 951 ydExplorer Tom Kilgobbin Castle in Kilgobbin is an impressive granite tower house that was nearly sold for a horse in some wild tale I made up. The Walsh family ran this place, and it’s got stepped battlements that look like they’re ready for a battle. Have a look and decide if I was lying to you.
Linear earthwork in KilgobbinLinear earthwork · 1006 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Linear earthwork in Kilgobbin is a lane that used to be a bank, which then became a ditch, now it’s just a path. It’s got a history more convoluted than my last relationship with a landlord. Pick a stone, any stone, and invent its biography as a rebellious teenager who left home.
Fernhill Community GardenGarden · 1640 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this garden.Explorer Tom Fernhill Community Garden in County Dublin sounds like a hill made of ferns and community spirit. Nothing on file means it might be just dirt and hope. Check if any ferns are actually trying to hug you. It’s weird but lovely.
Foxrock VillageVisitor information · 1732 ydExplorer Tom Foxrock Village is the heart of a village that isn’t really there anymore. Just some buildings and overhead wires that I absolutely hate. Take a picture of the wires for my grudge list.
