Shankill HouseCountry house · 226 ydExplorer Tom Shankill House was erected by Jasper Villiers Fowler in the early 19th century. It’s got a square plan and overlooks the Irish Sea and Bray Head. It’s been vacant since 2012, which makes it perfect for imagining all the parties that could have happened there! Don’t let the silence fool you!
Shankill CastleFarm house · 311 ydExplorer Tom Shankill Castle in Shankill, County Dublin is actually a farmhouse from 1778 with an oval attic window that James Saunders sketched back in the day. It’s got a cruciform plan and a gabled porch that makes it look like a small fortress. Wave at the occupants if you can.
Rathmichael WalkWalking route · 540 ydExplorer Tom Rathmichael Walk in County Dublin is playing hard to get. My mate says it’s a city tour, but I bet the ghosts are doing the walking. Send me a photo of the mystery!
Bawn in RathmichaelBawn · 915 ydExplorer Tom The Bawn in Rathmichael once enclosed Puck’s Castle with curvilinear earthworks, a protective yard now mostly hidden under grass.
Puck's CastleCastle · 936 ydExplorer Tom Puck's Castle in County Dublin sounds like something from a fairy tale, which fits perfectly since we're in Ireland. It's in Shankill, so if you see any mischievous sprites, just nod at them politely and move on.
Children's playground1109 ydComputer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom Children's playground in County Dublin is private, which means it's definitely hiding something big. Maybe a buried treasure chest? Knock politely and listen for gold!
Carrickgollogan HillMountain / peak · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Carrickgollogan Hill is showing off its summit to everyone. It’s just sitting there in County Dublin looking smug, so grab a photo for me if you get close enough to see it properly.
Carrickgollogan dolmen/wedge tombArchaeological place · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Carrickgollogan dolmen/wedge tomb is a stone box for the dead that looks like a very expensive picnic basket. The name is a mouthful, but the history is basically just 'old rocks and bones'.
Monterey Cypress1.2 miExplorer Tom Another Monterey Cypress in County Dublin, still posing for the camera. It's probably thinking it's on the California coast. Tell it to stop acting and just stand still.
Tully Grave YardGraveyard · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Tully graveyard sits within three concentric enclosures visible only by cropmarks, so it’s basically a giant invisible target practice range for farmers’ eyes.
Stone Pine1.9 miExplorer Tom Stone Pine has caught my eye in County Wicklow. I bet a stone pine 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.

Killiney BeachBeach / strand · 2.3 miExplorer Tom Killiney Beach in County Dublin boasts views of Bray Head. It’s showing off its scenery. Remind it that a beach is for swimming, not just sitting around admiring other hills from afar.
