Explorer Tom Athgoe Hill in County Dublin is just a hill with a house and castle nearby. It sounds impressive, but it’s really just a bump in the landscape pretending to be something more important than your average suburban slope.
outbuilding323 ydExplorer Tom Outbuilding in Athgoe might be made of mud. Built around 1890, it has possible mud walls which is rare and kinda gross. It’s got a metal rolling door that looks industrial. Take a snap of the dirtiness!
Athgoe CastleStables · 623 ydExplorer Tom Athgoe Castle is actually just stables from the 1800s, but they look so serious about it. Brick arches and all. I bet the horses are judging your outfit right now. Say hi to the ghosts!
Man-made underground passage in ColmanstownMan-made underground passage · 1120 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Cruagh’s underground passage has treasure buried under a boulder near a cemetery, which is just bad feng shui for ghosts. The rules for visitors are: don't be rich or dead. Hang around long enough and you'll hear a story from a local.
Ecclesiastical enclosure in ColmanstownEcclesiastical enclosure · 1254 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Ecclesiastical enclosure in Colmanstown is sub-circular with traces of a double ditch inside the graveyard wall. The stones seem to be holding their breath, waiting for someone to notice the complex layers of history hidden beneath the grass.
Children's playground1258 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom This Children's playground in County Dublin smells like adventure. Probably where the fairies go to do their laundry. Bring a towel just in case, mate.
Saint Finian's WellSpring · 1265 ydExplorer Tom Saint Finian's Well in County Dublin is guarded by a chapel that looks suspiciously like a photo from Wikipedia. It’s probably full of holy water and questionable history. Don’t get your feet wet, you’ll regret it later!
Colmanstown Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 1274 ydExplorer Tom Colmanstown Castle got demolished in 1960 because it refused to do its homework and failed school. Bring your nan, she'll know more than me about why the tower house dropped out of class so early.
CastleCastle, tower house · 1349 ydExplorer Tom Castle in Newcastle North is a flat-topped mound that looks like a giant’s pillow left out in the rain. It’s been sitting there since 1200, judging the church next door without saying a word. Snap one photo, then put the phone away and actually look.
Choice ChildcareChildren's playground · 1674 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Choice Childcare in County Dublin is private and full of mystery. No account, so perhaps the toddlers know more than the adults? Snap a shot for me if you can!
Lyons HillMountain / peak · 1720 ydComputer-made picture
European Yew1754 ydExplorer Tom European Yew in County Dublin has an imaginary fan club called 'The Conifer Lovers' who meet underground. They probably argue about which branch is the most majestic and throw leaves at each other. Bring a flask of something warm and a story to swap with them.
