Curryhills HouseHouse · 630 ydExplorer Tom Curryhills House in Curryhills would be the awkward uncle at any wedding, standing perfectly still. It’s red brick and round-headed, which is very polite for a house that’s seen it all. Bring a tissue for your own eyes.
water pump1125 ydExplorer Tom Water pump in Curryhills has a serious feud with the rain because it hates getting wet again. It’s an early cast-iron example that hasn’t moved since before mains water was a thing. The whole area used this for clean water, so respect the pump or don’t drink. Bring your own legend, I've run out of stories about thirst.

Battle of ProsperousMajor battlefield · 1566 ydExplorer Tom Battle of Prosperous in County Kildare is haunted by a prophecy about tea that never came true. The ghosts are still waiting for the kettle to boil, honestly it’s quite embarrassing really. Linger, it's not going anywhere and neither should you.
The Kildare MazeHeritage attraction · 1.1 miBallynafagh Bog Special Area of ConservationNature reserve · 1.6 miIndicatedCastle, motte · 1.8 miExplorer Tom Castle in Longtown Demesne is just a big dirt pile that hates Dublin tourists with a passion. It’s been cleared out, so it’s basically a hill with commitment issues. Bring a coin for luck and keep it in your pocket.
BullánBullaun stone · 2.4 miExplorer Tom Bullán in Clane is cemented onto a stream wall like it’s posing for a selfie. If it were at a wedding, it would be the uncle who spills wine. Go before the tourists find out.

Donadea CastleCastle, tower house · 3.0 miExplorer Tom Donadea Castle would order fish and chips with extra ketchup at any chipper. It’s a Birmingham manor that ended up in a forest park somewhere in Kildare. A good place to forget your phone for ten minutes.
