Waterville Park PlaygroundChildren's playground · 169 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom Waterville Park Playground in County Dublin has access, which is promising for a park with water in the name. Maybe the swings are wet? Or the slides are actually rivers? Take a picture for me if it's not flooding!
Children's playground427 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom This private spot in County Dublin looks like it’s guarding a very important secret or just really bad equipment. No details, so I’m guessing the slides are sticky. Take a picture if you can!

Saint Brigid's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 599 ydExplorer Tom Saint Brigid's Catholic Church in Blanchardstown was built in 1858 and has a spire that’s definitely pointing at God, not at the satellite dish. The rib vaulted ceiling is fancy stuff. Don’t bump your head on those Romanesque corbels; they’re old friends!
Fairy fort / ringfort in Corduff (castleknock By.)Fairy fort / ringfort · 755 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Fairy fort / ringfort in Corduff is now under a housing estate, so the fairies are probably just paying rent and complaining about the noise. It’s not visible at ground level because modern life has a way of covering things up. Ten minutes here and you'll have a yarn for the pub that nobody believes.
Granard BridgeBridge · 1029 ydExplorer Tom Granard Bridge is a humpback granite beauty from 1810 that arches over the Royal Canal like it owns the place. It’s got ashlar stonework that screams class. Hop over if you’re brave enough, but watch for canal boats sneaking up!
IndicatedFairy fort / ringfort · 1058 ydExplorer Tom Fairy fort or ringfort in Corduff is a 42-meter platform that looks like it’s been chewed on by time and then spit out near some playing pitches. It’s got trees on top, which I assume are its new hairdo. Bring your worst joke, the place has heard worse from the kids.
Blanchardstown Centre information deskVisitor information · 1146 ydExplorer Tom Blanchardstown Centre information desk is buried under a mountain of shopping trolleys and confused shoppers. If you ask for directions, just point at the nearest exit and hope for the best, mate.
Castleknock CastleCastle · 1.5 miExplorer 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?
Graveyard in BuzzardstownGraveyard · 1.5 miExplorer Tom Graveyard in Buzzardstown is perched up high on a curve, looking down its nose at you. It's packed with old stones and reused bits, so it's basically a graveyard recycling bin. Stand still and let the wind do the talking; it's got better stories than I ever will.
The Royal Canal WayWalking route · 1.8 miExplorer 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!
TyrrelstownWood · 2.0 miExplorer Tom Tyrrelstown in County Dublin has a Park Plaza nearby. A wood with a hotel next door? That is luxury camping for you. Bring your finest walking boots.
Giant Sequoia2.3 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.
