Waterstown

Explorer Tom Riversdale House is a Georgian beauty with an ornate fanlight that judges your haircut. It’s stood there since 1790 waiting for someone to appreciate the details.

Explorer Tom St Philomena's Church in Palmerstown Lower is wearing a big south gable window like a crown jewel, built in 1948 to prove it’s not just any old chapel. Gaze at it!

Explorer Tom Post box in Palmerstown Lower is a cast-iron pillar from the sixties, looking very serious on Old Lucan Road. It’s basically a tiny metal soldier guarding the street. Give it a salute if you feel like it!

Explorer Tom Ashgrove in Castleknock (Without Phoenix Park) is playing hide-and-seek with me. A tale from 1870 says a house built it, but there was no trace of it even then. Take a picture for me if you pass!

Explorer Tom Rose Cottage in Castleknock is wearing a hipped slate hat from the 1890s. It’s got those cute segmental-headed openings that look like winking eyes. Snap a pic before it decides to move into Phoenix Park for a nap!

Explorer Tom Castleknock Castle in County Dublin is perched right on top of a big old mound, just showing off. It's next to a college, so maybe the students are living in ghost stories now?

Explorer Tom The Royal Canal Way in County Dublin is stuck near Castleknock. The water looks lazy, so I’m betting the path is too. Drop a shot of that lock for my album!

Explorer Tom Oldtown Wood in County Dublin gives a glimpse of the 'Fifteen Acres' and mountains. Sounds like a real estate listing. Probably beautiful though. Take a picture of the gap, not just the trees.

Explorer Tom Knockmaree Dolmen in County Dublin is having a nap under its giant stone blanket. It’s been snoozing for ages, dreaming about ancient farmers. Wake it up gently if you dare!

Explorer Tom Phoenix Park Visitor Centre in County Dublin is right by Ashtown. The caption says it's there, so I believe it. Take a picture for me and tell the park rangers I said hello on their behalf!

Explorer Tom Giant Sequoia in County Dublin? That's like putting an elephant in a cupboard. The photo shows Grizzly Giant, which is miles away. This one is just a big impostor.

Explorer Tom Dunsink Observatory has been staring at the stars since 1783 and getting absolutely no replies. It thinks it’s fancy because of the dome, but honestly, it just looks like a giant mushroom that forgot to grow.
