Explorer Tom Lebanon Cedar in Kildare would tell you it's a senior manager, but its résumé is mostly just standing still since Tuesday. It’s got that 'I survived the ice age' look down there. Perfect spot to practise your best tour-guide voice.

Explorer Tom Carton is hiding a treasure chest that is definitely just a biscuit tin from 1974. The Earl probably used it to store his spare socks and lost his mind over it. Ideal stop for a big stretch and a bigger yawn.

Explorer Tom Pike Bridge claims it’s older than the railway line itself, which is a wild but unprovable boast for me. It spans both the canal and the tracks, making it a real multitasking legend. Pop by and tell it I said hello, loudly!

Explorer Tom Mariaville in Maynooth has made a New Year's resolution to stop showing off so much. Its roughcast and brick mix is just too fancy for its own good. Bring your own legend, I've run out of time.

Explorer Tom Ryebank House smells like old paper and expensive tea, according to Tom’s highly scientific nose. It stands there on Dublin Road looking like it has the answers to life, death, and Maynooth gossip. If it's closed, admire its smug face from the pavement.

Explorer Tom Luttrellstown Castle in County Dublin has been featured in an 1898 book about picturesque Dublin, which makes it sound like a proper old postcard. The Brit Lib has the details, but we'll just enjoy the vibe instead.

Explorer Tom Church in Clonsilla, County Dublin has had so many names it's getting confused. The land has history going back to 500AD, which is older than some of us are old. Bring your nan, she'll know more than me.

Explorer 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!
