Graveyard6 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Graveyard in Saintdoolaghs encloses St. Doulagh's Church, with medieval mouldings acting as coping stones. Rumor has it there’s a hidden tunnel straight to the local pub, but I haven’t checked. Walk past slowly like you're in a film.
Saint Doolagh's Church (Balgriffin)Church/chapel · 8 ydExplorer Tom Saint Doolagh's Church has incorporated an older tower from the twelfth century. It’s a mix of old and new that looks absolutely brilliant. Lord Talbot restored it, so it’s got style. Give it a cheer!
Architectural fragment in SaintdoolaghsArchitectural fragment · 15 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Architectural fragment in Saintdoolaghs involves late medieval mouldings being used as coping stones for a wall, which is peak recycling.

St Doolaghs ChurchChurch · 15 ydExplorer Tom St Doolaghs Church has the steepest vaulted roof in Ireland at 68 degrees, which is just show-off territory. There’s also a hermit’s cell hidden in there somewhere. It’s a multi-period mess that looks very fancy though.

St Catherine's WellSpring · 62 ydExplorer Tom St Catherine's Well in County Dublin is tucked near Malahide, which is fancy, but this well looks like it forgot to iron its shirt. It might be a wishing well for lost keys. Make a wish and keep moving!

St. Marnocks Bay PlaygroundChildren's playground · 1.2 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom St. Marnocks Bay Playground in County Dublin sounds like a place where boats go to die. Access is unknown, so it might be underwater by now. Take a picture for me if you find dry land!
CastleCastle, unclassified · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Castle in Feltrim is Fagan’s place where an Earl got locked up under Elizabeth I. Legend says James II crashed here while running from the Boyne battle. It's the kind of place that makes a dull Tuesday feel like a historical thriller.
