Children's playground666 ydComputer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom Children's playground in County Dublin is probably full of lost bobbins and questionable swings. I'd bet a fiver that a gnome lives under the sandpit. Snap a pic for me if you spot him!
Cherry Orchard HospitalPost box · 722 ydExplorer Tom Cherry Orchard Hospital has a post box from around 1955 sitting in the wall. It was made by Jessop Davis of Enniscorthy, which sounds like a wizard. It’s got a P & T monogram on it, so drop your letters in there if you’re feeling postal.
post box958 ydExplorer Tom Post box in Palmerstown Lower is a cast-iron pillar from the sixties, looking very serious on Old Lucan Road. It’s basically a tiny metal soldier guarding the street. Give it a salute if you feel like it!
The Old BeehiveUnknown · 974 ydExplorer Tom The Old Beehive in Palmerstown Lower is a ten-bay building from 1860. It’s a restaurant now, but look at that rubble stone street front! Take a photo of the whole impressive massing.
milestone/milepost985 ydExplorer Tom Milestone or milepost in Palmerstown Lower is an illegible granite block from 1775, now set into concrete. It’s basically part of the pavement now. Tap it for good luck on the Old Lucan Road!
outbuilding993 ydExplorer Tom Outbuilding in Palmerstown Lower is a former coach house with five three-centred carriage arches that look impressive. It’s got ashlar limestone voussoirs and modern doors stuck into the arches, which feels a bit off. Wave to the Old Lucan Road and tell it to slow down!
Cherry Orchard Community GardenGarden · 1394 ydComputer-made picture. It does not show this garden.Explorer Tom Cherry Orchard Community Garden in County Dublin smells like sugar and disappointment because the cherries were picked years ago by a very greedy squirrel named Dave. Look for any leftover pits or signs of recent squirrel activity around there.
Castleknock CastleCastle · 1.3 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?
Knockmaree DolmenArchaeological place · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Knockmaree Dolmen in County Dublin is having a nap under its giant stone blanket. It’s been snoozing for ages, dreaming about ancient farmers. Wake it up gently if you dare!
Oldtown WoodWood · 1.7 miExplorer Tom Oldtown Wood in County Dublin gives a glimpse of the 'Fifteen Acres' and mountains. Sounds like a real estate listing. Probably beautiful though. Take a picture of the gap, not just the trees.
Giant Sequoia2.1 miExplorer Tom Giant Sequoia in County Dublin? That's like putting an elephant in a cupboard. The photo shows Grizzly Giant, which is miles away. This one is just a big impostor.
Phoenix Park Visitor CentreVisitor information · 2.3 miExplorer Tom Phoenix Park Visitor Centre in County Dublin is right by Ashtown. The caption says it's there, so I believe it. Take a picture for me and tell the park rangers I said hello on their behalf!
