Explorer Tom This Stone Cross moved from Watery Lane because it needed a better view of the graveyard. It’s got two raised ribs and a roundel that looks like it’s judging you. Find a local and ask them the real story, then come back and tell me.
Richard McKeeMemorial · 150 ydExplorer Tom Richard McKee in County Dublin is a memorial. Who’s he? Doesn’t matter. Get a quick shot of the stone for me.
Rosehill HouseHouse · 155 ydExplorer Tom Rosehill House in Finglas is a classical gem from around 1740. It’s got an engaged corner tower and was owned by fancy families like the Shaws. Now it’s an employment centre, so no more fancy parties.
The ElmsHouse · 178 ydExplorer Tom The Elms in County Dublin has been swapped into two flats, which is like splitting a sandwich in half when you're still hungry. It lost its character but kept its massing. Bring your B-side playlist.
St Patricks WellHoly well · 413 ydExplorer Tom St Patricks Well in County Dublin has a grotto and murals that look like they were painted by a drunk uncle. Its name really means 'The Guy Who Stole My Lunch', I think. Take the long way round, it deserves the effort.
Glasnevin CemeteryHistoric cemetery · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Glasnevin Cemetery is the whole historic area, not just the office. It’s got Daniel O’Connell’s tomb with a fake round tower on top. Snap that symbolic structure if you’re wandering around!
Baldcypress1.4 miExplorer Tom Baldcypress in County Dublin is just a tree standing there looking confused about why it’s famous. It drops its leaves in winter, which is very dramatic for a plant. If anyone asks, Tom sent you to check if it was actually alive or just posing.
Dawn Redwood1.4 miExplorer Tom Dawn Redwood in County Dublin is an old fossil pretending to be modern, which is a bold move for a tree. If it died tomorrow, its tombstone would just say 'Finally got to rest.' Tell me if the gossip I made up is true or pure bollocks.
BallymunVisitor information · 1.7 miExplorer Tom Ballymun in County Dublin is doing some serious redevelopment, mostly by turning office blocks into things that look like office blocks. It's a deprived part of Dublin, so bring a scarf for luck.
Ashtown CastleCastle · 2.0 miExplorer Tom Ashtown Castle is hiding out in Phoenix Park, I think. The caption says it’s there, but the record just says County Dublin. Go find it and tell me if it looks like it wants to be found!
Irish Volunteers memorialMonument · 2.2 miExplorer Tom Irish Volunteers memorial in County Dublin was chiselled by Leo Broe. He probably got paid in sandwiches. The sculpture looks like it’s thinking hard about lunch.
The Phoenix MonumentStatue · 2.2 miExplorer Tom The Phoenix Monument statue in County Dublin keeps trying to rise from ashes that aren't there. It looks quite charred and confused about its own existence. Tell it Tom thinks it's a bit overcooked.
