Explorer Tom Molchanstown Castle is currently under a reservoir because someone decided water was more important than history. The Down Survey map shows it, but you’d need a submarine to see it now. Go on, count the windows and get it wrong like I did, it’s part of the charm.
Children's playground545 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's playground in County Dublin is private, which means the gatekeeper is definitely a grumpy old cat. Leave a treat and see what he says.
Burton HallCountry house · 595 ydExplorer Tom Burton Hall in Carmanhall was built for Samuel Burton MP, who clearly liked his buildings symmetrical and his granite silver-grey. It’s an early eighteenth-century showpiece that would probably survive a zombie attack by just standing there looking unimpressed. Go on, give it a respectful nod.
Monterey Cypress602 ydExplorer Tom Monterey Cypress in County Dublin looks like it's trying very hard to look Mediterranean. A local legend says a giant sneezed and planted it by accident. Stand where the owner stood and practise looking smug.
Silver Birch629 ydExplorer Tom Silver Birch in County Dublin has that pale skin thing going on, which is either elegant or just sunburned. Stand on the spot and imagine the gossip it’s heard about every dog that passed by.
Leopardstown ParkStables · 888 ydExplorer Tom Leopardstown Park stables were designed by a Swede who clearly knew what he was doing. I bet after a few pints, the horses would spill all the estate’s dirty laundry. O, ask them if they still remember the old days of proper racing!
Our Lady of Guadalupe ResidenceGarden · 891 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Our Lady of Guadalupe Residence in County Dublin has no access, so it’s basically a fortress. The garden inside is definitely judging your shoes. Try not to peek too hard!
Flat cemetery in CarmanhallFlat cemetery · 1073 ydExplorer Tom Flat cemetery in Carmanhall is just a flat patch of dirt with some very fancy pots buried deep. It sits right next to a stream that probably ignores it completely. Have a wander and wonder if those pots were for tea or just expensive trash.
St. John of GodVisitor information · 1135 ydExplorer Tom St. John of God is promising nine days of healing prayers for 2026. Bit far off, isn't it? Still sounds comforting. Grab a photo of the statue for me!
Ecclesiastical enclosure in Stillorgan SouthEcclesiastical enclosure · 1210 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Enclosure in Stephenstown is just two arcs visible from space, which feels like an unfinished sentence from the earth itself. Dare you to say hello to it out loud; it might be shy but it’s definitely listening to your nonsense.
Graveslab in Stillorgan SouthGraveslab · 1210 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Graveslab in Stillorgan South has 'rude circles' on it, which sounds like something your uncle would draw on a napkin. It’s been gone for ages, so you’re just talking to the memory of a slab. A proper spot for a flask of tea and a big think about those rude circles.
Foxrock Village Heritage MapVisitor information · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Foxrock Village Heritage Map is trying to tell me about history but it’s just a piece of paper on a pole. It probably lies about the past. Read it upside down if you dare.
