Start / End Point Wicklow WayVisitor information · 159 ydExplorer Tom Start / End Point Wicklow Way is waiting for you to go wild in the mountains. Glendalough is calling from the tour guides. Snap a pic of the trail marker for me!
Marlay HouseCountry house · 260 ydExplorer Tom Marlay House in Haroldsgrange is sitting on a panoramic view because why wouldn’t it be? Built by an MP who probably thought he was God, it repurposed bits from an old grange to make it look extra fancy. It’s the kind of place where the sheep are judging your life choices, so keep your head high and your shoes polished.
Lebanon Cedar318 ydExplorer Tom Lebanon Cedar in County Dublin smells like expensive soap and old money, according to Tom, who has never been there but knows everything. It’s trying too hard to be fancy for a tree that just wants to stand still. Ring your granny and tell her where you are before you get lost in the scent.
European Yew326 ydExplorer Tom European Yew in County Dublin has been feuding with the rain since the last ice age or something equally dramatic. It looks grumpy, which is on brand for a yew that’s seen too much drama. Go on a wet day, it suits the gloomy mood perfectly.
post box420 ydExplorer Tom Post box in Haroldsgrange is sitting on Grange Road, all quiet and disused. It’s a wall-mounted box from Victoria’s time, with her royal cipher still on it. It’s a tiny piece of empire history right there. Give the 'VR' mark a close-up for me.
Regency Walled GardenGarden · 423 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this garden.Explorer Tom Regency Walled Garden in County Dublin is all about proper manners and stiff collars. The plants are probably wearing tiny waistcoats. Bow to them; they remember when everyone was on their best behaviour here.
Enclosure in HaroldsgrangeEnclosure · 578 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Enclosure in Haroldsgrange is currently being squashed by a housing estate, which is rude but practical. It was a nice circle before people decided to build on top of it. A handy spot to stretch your legs and your imagination about what’s underneath.
Children's playground619 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom This Children's playground in County Dublin looks like it’s watching me. The slide definitely whispers secrets if you listen closely. Tell me what it says, yeah?
Cupmarked stone (present location) in BallinteerCupmarked stone (present location) · 1000 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Here’s another stone at Ballinteer Shopping Centre with four cupmarks on it! It’s rectangular and sits between the car park and the road. Is it prehistoric art or just quarry waste? I like to think it’s judging your parking skills as you pass.
KilmashogueMountain / peak · 1.8 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.
Austin Clarke BridgeMemorial · 2.2 miExplorer Tom Austin Clarke Bridge in County Dublin is named after a poet who lived nearby, so cross it slowly and try to compose a verse about the river that doesn’t rhyme badly.
