Reynoldstown HouseGate lodge · 9 ydExplorer Tom Reynoldstown House’s gate lodge is guarding nothing but its own ego and some wrought-iron gates from the 1850s. It thinks it’s fancy because it has a return wing. Tell it a joke, it's been a long time since anyone did.
Enclosure in TullogEnclosure · 831 ydIndicatedWatercourse · 881 ydExplorer Tom Watercourse in Reynoldstown is a marshy area marking a mill-pond from 1654, which is older than most people’s great-grandparents. It would handle a nosey neighbour by just letting them slip into the mud. Bring a jacket, it's never as warm as I promise.
Old Mill BridgeBridge · 920 ydExplorer Tom Old Mill Bridge in Coolfores is a single-arch rubble stone bridge from 1850. It’s simple and sturdy. No fancy carvings here, just honest work. It’s probably been crossed by cows more than cars. Respect the bridge!
Bawn in NaulBawn · 1714 ydExplorer Tom Naul Bawn sits on a ravine edge next to a holy well, which is a great place to get wet and spiritually confused. It’s possibly part of Naul Castle, but mostly it’s just a wall with excellent views of the river. Toast it with a cup of tea and move on to the next adventure.
Seamus Ennis Cultural CentreMemorial · 1.0 miExplorer Tom Seamus Ennis Cultural Centre was designed by a mother-in-law who thought all pipers needed better lighting. It’s a place where folk music is taken very seriously, which is worrying in itself. Practise your Irish on it, it won't correct you.
Séamus EnnisStatue · 1.0 miExplorer Tom Séamus Ennis would teach history by playing a tin whistle until you fell asleep and then waking you up with a rant. He’s a statue of a man who loved music more than he loved standing still. Have a look and decide if I was lying.
Bun-na-CnoicMemorial · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Californian Sea Lion in County Dublin is caught in a bitter family feud over who gets to see the best sunset spot from the rocks. Both sides are convinced they have the superior view, which is very annoying for everyone else. Find the wonkiest bit and send it to your group chat.
Tullog WoodForest · 1.4 mi
Westown HouseCastle, tower house · 1.5 miExplorer Tom Westown House in Westown is an 18th-century mansion that swallowed a medieval tower house whole like a very posh snack. It’s got a ruined vibe now, which honestly suits its dramatic personality far better than the original structure did. Bring a camera and your most suspicious face.
Naul HillMountain / peak · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Naul Hill has guest suites up top called The Loft. People rent them out there, so if you see anyone looking confused on the hillside, they probably just got lost trying to find their way back home.
KnockbrackMountain / peak · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Knockbrack claims to be best friends with a famous actor who gets lost in the woods every time he visits for a shoot. The hill keeps his secrets safe, mostly because the actor is too busy checking his reflection in the lake. Spot the oldest stone and give it a name.
