Designed landscapeDesigned landscape, belvedere · 2 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Designed landscape in Ballymount Great is an 18th-century folly turret sitting on top of an old barrow. It’s a small stone tower that thinks it’s very important. Best visited with a curious kid and no timetable.
BarrowBarrow, stepped barrow · 3 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Barrow. A 'Sham Ruin' turret sits on top of a real two-tiered barrow. It’s architectural cosplay! The 1767 drawing shows it as a two-storey tower, but now? Just a very confused garden feature for a manor house.
Ballymount PlaygroundChildren's playground · 725 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Ballymount Playground in County Dublin is where the tiny tyrants rule. I bet they’ve already claimed the swings as their own. Bow to them, yeah?
Children's playground886 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's playground in County Dublin is open and buzzing with energy. I bet the monkey bars are actually bridges to other countries if you cross them fast enough. Try it.
Newlands FarmAnimal house · 1015 ydExplorer Tom Newlands Farm is a byre that cares about aesthetics more than your average cow shed. The bad poem someone wrote about it probably rhymed 'moo' with 'do.' Minimize your expectations and maximize your admiration for the detail.
White HallFarm house · 1195 ydExplorer Tom White Hall is a derelict farm house where Katherine Tynan was born, which makes it historic but also kind of sad because it’s falling apart. The roof is plastic and the windows are blocked, so it looks like it’s giving up on life right now.

Belgard CastleCastle · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Belgard Castle in County Dublin is sitting there looking all mysterious and ancient. No one seems to know its secrets, so I'll just pretend I do while we walk past it.
CastleCastle, unclassified · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Castle in Clondalkin is Tully’s Castle, a narrow 16th-century tower with crenellations right on Monastery Road. It’s in state care, so it’s basically a celebrity that can’t leave the house. Ring your granny and tell her where you are before she worries about the round tower.
Fitwalk CircuitWalking route · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Another Fitwalk Circuit? Dublin really loves its repetitive cardio. The YouTube caption says Bachelor's Walk, but let's keep the bachelorhood to a minimum. Snap a sweaty selfie!
Veronica Guerin memorialMemorial · 1.3 miExplorer Tom The Veronica Guerin memorial in County Dublin is right there in the Dubhlinn Gardens, looking very determined about getting her message across. It’s a bit of a double entry for us, but she deserves the extra attention. Tell her Tom said hi!
Mayor's Mile (Finsish)Visitor information · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Mayor’s Mile (Finsish) is where the fun ends and the reality sets in. You’ve walked far enough, now go buy a pint and feel accomplished.
