Explorer Tom Killiney Church in County Dublin is half-eaten by the weather and definitely judging your outfit. It’s a ruin now, so don’t be too precious about stepping inside if the floor looks shaky. Snap some moody shots for me.
Funeral PathVisitor information · 36 ydExplorer Tom Legend says a giant once tried to use this path as a nap spot but got woken up by a very angry badger. He left in such a hurry that he forgot his shoe, which is now buried somewhere under the pavement. Linger, it's not going anywhere and neither should you.
Explorer Tom Martello Tower in Killiney. Located just under a quarter of a mile inland, this tower is nestled in an urbanized area of housing. It has been fully restored, so it looks less like a relic and more like a very serious garden ornament.
Explorer Tom Killiney Beach in County Dublin would post a photo of itself with the caption 'Looking chill, literally' and get ten thousand likes from people who haven't been there. It’s got those stunning views that make you forget how cold it actually is when you’re standing out there shivering. Pack a picnic and an excuse, but maybe bring a thermal layer just in case the wind gets cheeky.
Michael DavittMemorial · 622 ydExplorer Tom Michael Davitt in County Dublin is absolutely certain the postman stole his last letter and has been sulking about it ever since, refusing to acknowledge any new deliveries. It’s got that stubborn but principled energy of someone who thinks they are always right about land rights. Pack a picnic and an excuse.
Martello Tower No.7 Killiney - Killiney HillFort · 642 ydExplorer Tom Martello Tower No.7 Killiney in County Dublin is now part of a residence, which means it's got a very comfy job these days. The drone photo shows it clearly, so you can check it out from up high if you dare.
WoodfieldRectory/glebe/vicarage/curate's house · 1005 ydExplorer Tom Woodfield in Loughlinstown is being constantly gossiped about by the seagulls, who seem to think they own the entire roof and are just loaning it out temporarily. It’s a rectory with a view that would make any priest want to take a long lunch break on the porch. Bring a snack if you’re passing, because those birds are definitely going to try and steal your
Explorer Tom Ayesha Castle in County Dublin has a deep suspicion of the postman and his noisy van. The name suggests royalty, but the reality is just a map point with attitude. It’s probably judging your driving from its hidden perch in the green fields. It's free, it's odd, what more do you want?
Explorer Tom Ballybrack Dolmen thinks it’s got a shot at that management job because it’s been standing still for three thousand years without complaining once. It just keeps its mouth shut and lets the moss do all the talking, which is very clever of it. Spot the oldest stone and give it a name.
Mapas MonumentHeritage attraction · 1355 ydExplorer Tom Mapas Monument in County Dublin was built back in 1742 because the walks were too hard. John Mapas did it, so we owe him one. Stand next to it and look like you know the history!
White Rock, Killiney BeachBeach / strand · 1422 ydExplorer Tom White Rock, Killiney Beach in County Dublin is accessed by 100 steps, which is basically a cardio workout disguised as a beach trip. The nudists are on the left, so just keep your eyes forward and try not to make eye contact unless you're ready.
Hawk CliffCliff · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Hawk Cliff in County Dublin is a cliff where you can find a hidden swimming spot at the bottom. The path meanders through bushes and railway lines before dropping steeply to the sea. Watch your step, or don’t!
