Grand CanalLock · 194 ydExplorer Tom Grand Canal lock in Dublin 10 is the sixth one, built around 1775 for boat traffic. It has timber footboards and balance beams set in limestone. If you’re walking by, just admire the splayed ends and don’t ask why there are two different locks so close together.
Ballyfermot BridgeBridge · 708 ydExplorer Tom Ballyfermot Bridge in County Dublin is a single-arch limestone beauty built around 1775. It carries Killeen Road over the Grand Canal, looking very important while pretending it hasn’t changed a thing since the eighteenth century.

Toni'sPicnic place · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Toni's in County Dublin is having a picnic with itself. It claims to be a spot for snacks, but I suspect the sandwiches are long gone and only crumbs remain.
Executions of the leaders of the 1916 risingMemorial · 1.8 miExplorer Tom Executions of the leaders of the 1916 rising is pointing at Kilmainham Gaol like it’s blaming the building for everything. Fourteen guys got the axe, but this spot just wants you to feel dramatic about the whole bloody affair.
Kilmainham Jail MuseumMuseum · 1.8 miExplorer Tom Kilmainham Jail Museum in County Dublin is basically the same place as the gaol, but with a brochure. It’s like going to the same party twice. Grab a souvenir for me.
Islandbridge LodgeVisitor information · 1.9 miExplorer Tom Islandbridge Lodge sounds fancy but it’s probably just a big old house with opinions. The garden might bite back if you’re not polite.
Royal Hospital KilmainhamHeritage attraction · 2.1 miExplorer Tom Royal Hospital Kilmainham in County Dublin is heritage. Soldiers used to live there. Take a photo of the red brick facade for me.
Horse-chestnut2.2 miExplorer Tom Horse-chestnut in County Dublin is all about the nuts. The photo shows some in Germany, so this one might be an impostor. Check for chestnuts before you touch it!
Sean HeustonMemorial · 2.3 miExplorer Tom Sean Heuston's memorial in County Dublin is right by Phoenix Park, which has the biggest flower garden in Europe. He was a politician, so he probably liked flowers more than people. Check it out!
