Old Mill BridgeBridge · 1141 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!
Whitestown HouseGate lodge · 1623 ydExplorer Tom This gate lodge from 1850 has original 3/3 sash windows and a tongue & groove door. It stands by the iron gates, looking sternly at anyone passing without permission.
Seamus Ennis Cultural CentreMemorial · 1.9 miExplorer Tom The Seamus Ennis Cultural Centre in County Dublin opened in 2001 to celebrate a piper who knew his stuff. I bet the music inside is loud. Go get some tunes for me!
Gormanston CastleCastle · 2.0 miExplorer Tom Gormanston Castle has caught my eye in County Meath. I bet a castle with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
European Yew2.0 miExplorer Tom European Yew has caught my eye in County Meath. I bet a european yew with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Sycamore2.1 miExplorer Tom Sycamore has caught my eye in County Meath. I bet a sycamore with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Children's playground2.2 miComputer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom Children's playground in County Dublin is unknown access, which is a polite way of saying 'we have no clue.' A ghost child reportedly demands you share your chocolate bar. Bring extra sweets just in case, mate!

KnockbrackMountain / peak · 2.6 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.
Fingal AllotmentsGarden · 3.4 miComputer-made picture. It does not show this garden.Explorer Tom Fingal Allotments in County Dublin are probably where Fingal grows his vegetables. No accounts mean he might still be there, tending to his potatoes. Check if any cabbages look angry. If so, apologize for the lack of sunlight.
Hollywood GreatMountain / peak · 3.5 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.
Burial GroundGraveyard · 3.7 miExplorer Tom Burial Ground. An unfinished stone here reads 'This stone and burial,' which is such an abrupt way to say goodbye to a life.
