Custom HouseStatue · 79 ydExplorer Tom Custom House statue is Éire holding a dying soldier like a very dramatic bouquet. A Breton sculptor gave it all the drama and none of the sense. Tip your hat, but keep your distance from the tears.
Busáras/Áras Mhic DhiarmadaBus station · 87 ydExplorer Tom Busáras was designed by Michael Scott in the 1940s with a blank limestone face that refuses to talk. It’s had a bit of a feud with the next village over something daft about bus timetables. Wait for your stop, mate.
Hotel Isaac's/Gandon HouseHouse · 90 ydExplorer Tom This Gandon-designed house on Store Street is part of a crescent that looks like a smile. It’s been restored nicely, probably because John Beresford paid extra for good paint. After three pints, it’ll tell you where it hid the gold.
Burning of the Custom HouseArmed conflict · 108 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.
Custom House Visitor CentreHeritage attraction · 116 ydExplorer Tom Custom House Visitor Centre in County Dublin is all about showing off its heritage. There’s a nice photo of it near the river. Pop in and see what they’ve got to say about the city’s shiny past and fancy architecture.

Famine MemorialMemorial · 199 ydExplorer Tom Famine Memorial is standing on the port approach looking absolutely miserable about the ships that left. It reminds us of how many people were forced out during the hunger years. It’s not a place for jokes, just heavy sighs.
Matt Talbot 1856-1925Memorial · 218 ydExplorer Tom Matt Talbot 1856-1925 in County Dublin is resting his head after a long journey. He lived from the mid-nineteenth to early twentieth century. Stand by his memorial and think deep thoughts for me!
Glass works in Unknown TownlandGlass works · 301 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Glass works in County Dublin had a feud with the next village over a broken bottle. It’s been marked on maps since 1728, so it’s survived plenty of drama. If it's closed, admire it from the road like a polite stalker.
Epic The Irish Emigration MuseumMuseum · 315 ydExplorer Tom Epic The Irish Emigration Museum is crying into its exhibits about everyone leaving town. It wants you to feel sorry for the boats, but really it’s just happy if you buy a little replica suitcase from the gift shop.
Windmill in Unknown TownlandWindmill · 318 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Windmill in Dublin at Lazars Hill was 'Mr Hawkins windmill' back in 1683. No visible trace remains today. So it’s basically a ghost with a hat that nobody can see anymore. Imagine the wind just blowing through empty air.
Oriental plane601 ydExplorer Tom Oriental plane in County Dublin is eavesdropping on everything through its leaves. Go with someone who loves old stuff and watch them melt into a puddle of awe, or just envy it.
Bigleaf Maple628 ydExplorer Tom Another Bigleaf Maple in County Dublin, this one pretending it doesn't know I'm here. It’s probably posting about its 'roots' on social media, acting like a deep thinker when it's just a tree. Bring your own legend, I've run out of facts for you.
