Explorer Tom Fairview Oil Mills in Fairview is a ruinous water mill from 1875 with coursed limestone walls and a square red brick chimney. The walls still stand proud of the tree line, imposing an historic character on the parkland like a forgotten industrial giant.

Corkagh DemesneMemorial · 424 yd

South Dublin County CouncilChildren's playground · 599 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this playground.

Moyle Park HouseCountry house · 789 yd

Explorer Tom Moyle Park House is a most unusual former house with a grand principal elevation and a modest wing. It has a crisply executed classical porch and sits within college grounds. Bring your A-game because this place knows it looks different from everything else in Clondalkin.

Explorer Tom Burial ground in Corkagh Demesne has 9th-century guys tucked into shallow pits with some fancy glass beads. They're just chilling under the turf, probably judging your outfit. Dare you to say hello to it out loud.

Explorer Tom Moated site in Corkagh Demesne, County Dublin used to surround a castle that was demolished in the 1960s. The moat is gone now, leaving no visible remains at ground level. Just a park where a fortified house once stood, fed by the Camac River.

Rose GardenGarden · 976 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this garden.

Explorer Tom Another Rose Garden in County Dublin? They must run out of ideas after three. I bet the soil here is made entirely of old gossip and bad decisions.

Fairy WoodWood · 1107 yd

Explorer Tom Fairy Wood in County Dublin is carpeted with bluebells, according to my file. Sounds like a fairy's living room. If they're there, tell them Tom says hi, not that I'm superstitious.

Veronica Guerin memorialMemorial · 1109 yd

Explorer Tom The Veronica Guerin memorial in County Dublin is right there in the Dubhlinn Gardens, looking very determined about getting her message across. It’s a bit of a double entry for us, but she deserves the extra attention. Tell her Tom said hi!

The Round TowerVisitor information · 1182 yd

Explorer Tom The Round Tower in Clondalkin is 84 feet high and has original stairs. It's been a refuge since the 10th century. Grab a photo of the top for me!

CastleCastle, unclassified · 1476 yd

Explorer Tom Castle in Clondalkin is Tully’s Castle, a narrow 16th-century tower with crenellations right on Monastery Road. It’s in state care, so it’s basically a celebrity that can’t leave the house. Ring your granny and tell her where you are before she worries about the round tower.

Griffeen Valley WalkWalking route · 2.2 mi

Explorer 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!
