Father MathewMemorial · 35 ydExplorer Tom Father Mathew is preaching about temperance from his statue on O'Connell Street. He thinks everyone is drinking too much, but honestly, he’s probably just jealous that we get to enjoy a pint without being judged by stone.
Father Mathew MonumentMonument · 36 ydExplorer Tom Father Mathew Monument is standing there saying 'no booze' while looking like he’s about to start a fight. His dating profile would say: 'Solemn, tall, and hates your party.' Own twist on: promise him you’ll only have one pint, but don't.
shop/retail outlet37 ydExplorer Tom Shop on O’Connell Street Lower is part of a granite facade that looks like it’s been chewing gravel. Luke Gardiner started this mall in 1749 and never really stopped showing off. Bring big energy!
General Post OfficeBollard · 37 ydExplorer Tom General Post Office bollards on O'Connell Street Lower are oil-lit sentinels from around 1820. These cast-iron lantern bases and wheel guards are rare survivors that really frame the GPO portico perfectly. They’re basically tiny historical guardians standing guard in front of the big building.
CúchulainnMonument · 46 ydExplorer Tom Cúchulainn in County Dublin is flexing his muscles again. The hound’s gone mad with envy, so watch out for teeth marks if you get too close!
Sir John Gray Knt md jpMonument · 151 ydExplorer Tom Sir John Gray Knt md jp in County Dublin has a long name for a monument. It’s basically just a statue with a fancy title attached. He probably liked his tea very much.

Padraig Sheahan MemorialMemorial · 374 ydExplorer Tom Padraig Sheahan Memorial honours a brave cop who died in the sewers. That’s not exactly a fancy memorial spot, is it? He saved guys from gas. Respect the bravery, mind the stench.
Burning of the Custom HouseArmed conflict · 541 ydExplorer Tom Burning of the Custom House in County Dublin was a bargain gone wrong with fire involved. It looks dramatic from a distance, which is good for photos. Stand back, squint, and it looks like a castle.
Bigleaf Maple683 ydExplorer Tom Bigleaf Maple in County Dublin is doing its best impression of a confused tourist from America. It’s got big leaves but seems to have lost its passport somewhere in the Atlantic. Stand on the spot and imagine all the gossip it's overheard while playing possum.
Oriental plane738 ydExplorer Tom Oriental plane in County Dublin would tell its younger self to stop being so dramatic about falling leaves. It's just autumn, mate. Bring a flask and pretend you own the place.
14 Henrietta Street museumMuseum · 784 ydExplorer Tom 14 Henrietta Street museum was built for fancy lords in the 1740s. Luke Gardiner did it, and by 1911 the housing was terrible, which is ironic.
Children's playground832 ydComputer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom Children's playground in County Dublin has permissive access but no notes. Sneaky! Maybe the sandpit is where local legends are born? Take a picture if it looks magical.
