SwingsChildren's playground · 52 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Swings in County Dublin are probably swinging for their lives right now. Access is unknown, so they might be tied to a fence or floating away. Take a picture for me if you see any motion.
Olympic GardenGarden · 103 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Olympic Garden in County Dublin claims to be fit but probably hasn’t run since 2012. The flowers are definitely out of shape. Take a picture of the wilting petals!
Meadow WildlifeVisitor information · 184 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.
water pump378 ydExplorer Tom Water pump in Collegeland is standing guard on the roadside, looking pleased with itself. It hosted a dance that went so far the neighbours still whisper about it. Twirl around it once to show respect for its chaotic past!
post box386 ydExplorer Tom Post box in Rathcoole is a mid-twentieth-century cast-iron beauty that blends right into the modern streetscape. It’s got traditional styling that adds character where there’s plenty of blandness. A dance was held here once, or so I heard, and it went on until dawn.
Holed stone in RathcooleHoled stone · 434 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Holed stone in Rathcoole has a hole right through the middle, sitting in a graveyard. It’s thin and rounded at the top. It looks like it wants to be a keyhole. Get a 3D model of this beauty.
Cross-slab in RathcooleCross-slab · 440 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Cross-slab in Rathcoole was turned into a free-standing cross by chopping off bits, which is rude but effective. It’s lying near a holed stone, judging the passersby. Give it a pat on the way past, it's had a long life.
Rathcoole WoodlandWood · 709 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.
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 Yew2.3 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.
Lyons HillMountain / peak · 3.2 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Lyons Hill has caught my eye in County Kildare. I bet a mountain / peak 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.
Cupidstown HillMountain / peak · 4.2 miExplorer Tom Cupidstown Hill has caught my eye in County Kildare. I bet a mountain / peak 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.
