water pump77 ydExplorer Tom Water pump in Grange is doing its best impression of a Victorian gentleman. It's got that square profile and curved handle from around 1900, looking mighty proud on the Ballyboghil scene. Give it a little wave for me!
Catholic Church of the AssumptionChurch/chapel · 81 ydExplorer Tom The Church of the Assumption claims glory for God but looks like it’s waiting for its pension to kick in. Reverend Canavan got his name on the door, which is all you really need. Whisper a secret at it; it’s kept worse ones.
St Kenny's WellSpring · 2.4 miExplorer Tom St Kenny's Well in County Dublin is named after a guy who might have been a bit of a legend, or just really good at digging holes. The picture looks authentic enough. If it bubbles, that’s your cue to leave!
Hollywood GreatMountain / peak · 2.6 miExplorer Tom Hollywood Great overlooks a church graveyard and Lambay Island in the distance. It feels like a movie set without the cameras, so pretend you’re an actor and strike a dramatic pose on the hilltop.
Graveyard in KillosseryGraveyard · 2.7 miExplorer Tom Graveyard in Killossery looks like it was built on top of something older, raised two metres above the ground. Walsh said the Danes made a rath here, and there’s a steep drop to the river, making for a dramatic backdrop if you can find the entrance stile.
St. Michaels WellHoly well · 3.1 miExplorer Tom St. Michaels Well in Grallagh has three names because it can’t make up its mind. It sits in the graveyard, judging your life choices while you walk past. Bring a friend who talks too much and let the place shut them up.
St. John's WellSpring · 3.1 miExplorer Tom St. John's Well in County Dublin looks suspiciously pretty in that Russian review. Why does it look like a model? Don't trust it, just snap a photo and check if it's actually bubbling.
CastleCastle, tower house · 3.2 miExplorer Tom Castle in Finglas East was a tower house opposite St Canice’s, but now it’s just a drawing and some imagination. A bet in the pub probably started this whole mystery about where it actually is. Mind the nettles, they're the real guards here.
Wooly Ward's FarmHeritage attraction · 3.3 miExplorer Tom Wooly Ward's Farm in County Dublin is a heritage attraction. Sounds like a very hairy farmer’s property. I bet the cows were terrified. Take a photo of any remaining fences for me.
KnockbrackMountain / peak · 3.5 miExplorer Tom Knockbrack has a trig station on top for handy navigation. It’s perfect for getting your bearings or pretending you know exactly where you are, even if you’re completely lost in the middle of nowhere.
Glasmore Abbey (in ruins)Structure · 4.1 miExplorer Tom Glasmore Abbey is a square, enigmatic building with medieval insertions that survives to one storey height. It looks like a box made of limestone blocks in Mooretown. Bring curiosity, leave with a better story than mine about its purpose.
Freedagh MoatCastle, motte · 4.6 miExplorer Tom Freedagh Moat is sitting on a ridge where the weather has a long grudge against it, keeping it damp and grumpy. Find a local and ask them the real story, then come back and tell me if they sound sane.
