gates/railings/walls27 ydExplorer Tom Gates in Lodgepark would buy a yacht if it won the lottery, but it’s just a wall. It’s traditional stone work that looks far better than your garden fence. Linger, it's not going anywhere for another century.
post box31 ydExplorer Tom Post box in Lodgepark is having a silent drama with the tree next to it over who gets more sunlight. It’s an old iron beauty still doing its job, completely ignoring the leaves falling on its head. Wave at the cow

IndicatedBawn · 1283 ydEnclosure in BallyhaysEnclosure · 1469 ydExplorer Tom Enclosure in Ballyhays was visited by a poet who fell into the ditch and wrote a very angry sonnet about his dignity. It sits next to a ring-ditch that looks like it’s trying to escape the field boundaries. Bring a jacket, it's never as warm as I promise.
Enclosure in BarberstownEnclosure · 1501 ydExplorer Tom Enclosure in Barberstown thinks the road leading to it is too flashy and needs to wear plainer clothes. It’s been complaining about the traffic noise for centuries without anyone actually hearing its gripe. Have a chat with it, nobody's watching.
Battle of GlenmamaMajor battlefield · 1.9 miExplorer Tom Battle of Glenmama in County Kildare has an imaginary fan club that meets only when the fog rolls in thick. They argue about who lost and nobody ever wins the argument properly. Ideal stop for a big stretch and a bigger yawn.
Castletown HouseHeritage attraction · 4.1 mi
European Yew4.3 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.
Conolly's FollyHeritage attraction · 4.5 mi
Grand Canal WayWalking route · 4.6 miExplorer Tom Grand Canal Way in County Dublin is pretending to be Kildare according to one cheeky map note. A little county peninsula poking through like a nosy neighbour. Tell me if it's still hiding!
