Saint Vincent's CollegeGate lodge · 36 ydExplorer Tom Saint Vincent's College gate lodge in Castleknock has a pyramidal slate roof and granite chimney stack. Looks like a giant chess piece guarding the entrance. I’d bow to it if it moved. Tell me if it does!
Knockmaroon HouseGate lodge · 44 ydExplorer Tom Knockmaroon House’s gate lodge is a half-timbered neo-Tudor number from 1900. It has a conservatory added in 1980, which feels like a time travel glitch. The timber latching on the upper part is very rustic. I’d love to peek inside.
Mount HyblaCountry house · 336 ydExplorer Tom Mount Hybla in Castleknock is a biggie from 1750. It’s got segmental horns on the windows, which are totally cheeky. I bet it’s seen some things. Whisper this to anyone who believes me.
FarmleighCountry house · 391 ydExplorer Tom Farmleigh in Castleknock is where presidents stay. Obama was there. It’s all about the Guinness family money now. I bet the kitchen is huge. Take a pic of the port cochere for me, it’s fancy!
Castleknock CastleCastle · 425 ydExplorer Tom Castleknock Castle in County Dublin is perched right on top of a big old mound, just showing off. It's next to a college, so maybe the students are living in ghost stories now?
The Royal Canal WayWalking route · 588 ydExplorer Tom The Royal Canal Way in County Dublin is stuck near Castleknock. The water looks lazy, so I’m betting the path is too. Drop a shot of that lock for my album!
Children's playground779 ydComputer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom Children's playground in County Dublin is mysterious. No account means it might be a dragon's lair. Check under the slide for scales and take a photo of any shiny bits!
Ashtown Lodge groundsGarden · 1.1 miComputer-made picture.

Take a picture of any flowers you can spot without trespassing!
Oldtown WoodWood · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Oldtown Wood in County Dublin gives a glimpse of the 'Fifteen Acres' and mountains. Sounds like a real estate listing. Probably beautiful though. Take a picture of the gap, not just the trees.
Phoenix Park Visitor CentreVisitor information · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Phoenix Park Visitor Centre in County Dublin is right by Ashtown. The caption says it's there, so I believe it. Take a picture for me and tell the park rangers I said hello on their behalf!
Knockmaree DolmenArchaeological place · 1.5 miExplorer Tom Knockmaree Dolmen in County Dublin is having a nap under its giant stone blanket. It’s been snoozing for ages, dreaming about ancient farmers. Wake it up gently if you dare!
Magazine FortBastioned fort · 2.3 miExplorer Tom Magazine Fort. Built to store gunpowder, yet it sat there until the mid-20th century? I imagine every resident was living in perpetual fear of a spark from their own chimney.
