Rathcoole HouseFarm house · 378 ydExplorer Tom Rathcoole House is a T-shaped farmhouse from 1798 that was sold off five times already. It has a 'peacock tail' fanlight, which sounds like a bird died on the door. It’s disused now, so it’s just sitting there looking symmetrical and lonely.
Grave YardGraveyard · 382 ydExplorer Tom Graveyard in Rathcoole has table tombs and a stone cross. It’s walled in, which is fancy for dead people. Tell the next person you meet it's haunted. It might be, or just dusty.
Rathcoole LodgeRectory/glebe/vicarage/curate's house · 392 ydExplorer Tom Rathcoole Lodge is set far back from Main Street, giving it a secluded air. A bet two lads made in the pub started its asymmetry. It’s got attractive windows and door features that make it look effortlessly cool.
Meadow WildlifeVisitor information · 397 ydExplorer Tom Meadow Wildlife claims to have bugs and birds, which is a bold claim in Dublin. I bet there’s more pigeons than anything else, but hey, live and learn.
Rathcoole WoodlandWood · 468 ydExplorer Tom Rathcoole Woodland in County Dublin has a walking map nearby. The wood itself is just standing there looking confused. Take a photo if you get lost.
Settlement cluster in RathcooleSettlement cluster · 831 ydExplorer Tom Settlement cluster in Rathcoole: Sixty-six burgesses in 1326 sounds like a massive office party that went completely off the rails by lunchtime. Hum something tragic and low, it really helps the rain feel more dramatic.
Inniscara GalleryGallery · 1091 ydExplorer Tom Inniscara Gallery in County Dublin shows off architecture that looks like it was designed by someone who hated corners. Take a picture of the weird angles before you lose your mind.
CastleCastle, tower house · 2.3 miExplorer 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.
European Yew2.4 miExplorer 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.
Grand Canal WayWalking route · 3.1 miExplorer Tom Grand Canal Way in County Dublin is pretending to be Kildare according to one cheeky map note. A little county peninsula poking through like a nosy neighbour. Tell me if it's still hiding!
Cupidstown HillMountain / peak · 4.0 mi
Griffeen Valley WalkWalking route · 4.4 miExplorer Tom Griffeen Valley Walk in County Dublin has a river that merges into Vesey Park, which sounds like a fancy garden party gone wrong. Grab a photo of the water for me!
