Saint Helen'sHouse · 164 ydExplorer Tom Saint Helen's in Finnstown is showing off its fancy Doric doorway like it owns the place, built around 1830 for people with serious status. Grab a pic of that elaborate panelled door if you can!
Children's playground173 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom Just another Children's playground in County Dublin. The climbing frame looks like it’s screaming silently. Or maybe that’s just me being dramatic. Check it out and tell me.
Tandy's PlaygroundChildren's playground · 260 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom Tandy's Playground in County Dublin is likely named after someone who got tired of waiting. Access is unknown, so it could be abandoned or full of ghosts. Take a picture for me if you hear any giggles!
Somerton HouseHouse · 342 ydExplorer Tom Somerton House sits up high on its steps looking down on us all like a snob with a good haircut. I’d bet it thinks the entrance group is for VIPs only. Tip your hat, don’t look too impressed.
Finnstown HouseFarmyard complex · 392 ydExplorer Tom Finnstown House in County Dublin is actually just a farmyard complex that's been kept tidy by its current owners. It used to be part of a big estate, but now it’s just some outbuildings hanging out together. If a cow walked in, it’d probably feel at home.
The Marian ShrineWayside shrine · 1008 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom The Marian Shrine in County Dublin is being shy. No account? Rude! It’s probably hiding behind that big bush, waiting for us to leave so it can dance.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in TobermacluggFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 1305 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Tobermaclugg: A road construction cut across the northeast quadrant of this cropmark recently. I’m groaning with amusement because we paved over part of a 'Danes Fort,' treating ancient history like a simple obstacle course.
CastleCastle, unclassified · 1425 ydExplorer Tom Aderrig Castle is so vague that even the maps can't find it, which is impressive for a structure. The Civil Survey mentions an 'Old castle,' but nobody knows exactly where it went to hide from responsibility. Bring a friend who talks too much and let the mystery shut them up.
Griffeen Valley WalkWalking route · 1528 ydExplorer 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!
Ginkgo2.1 miExplorer Tom Ginkgo in County Dublin would tell its younger self to stop trying so hard to look prehistoric. It’s a survivor, but it doesn’t need to brag about being older than dinosaurs every five minutes. Pretend you're a lost aristocrat, nobody will check your ID at the park gate.
Grand Canal WayWalking route · 2.3 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!
Giant Sequoia2.5 miExplorer Tom Giant Sequoia in County Dublin is having an existential crisis because it has an imaginary twin across the sea it’s never met. It’s huge, loud, and completely out of place here, like a giant in a small room. Look for the ghost, then pretend you didn't see anything weird.
