Our Lady of ConsolationChurch/chapel · 158 ydExplorer Tom Our Lady of Consolation in County Dublin is a substantial Catholic church with a concrete-frame construction that bridges tradition and modernity. It has tall pointed windows and a brick infill that make it look like it’s trying to be both old-school and new-age at the same time. Bring a
Children's playground209 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom This private Children's playground in County Dublin looks suspiciously like a trap for stray cats. Or maybe it's just a very exclusive club for toddlers. Either way, peek inside carefully.
post box338 ydExplorer Tom Post box on Collin's Avenue has a 'P&T' logo that stands for Posts and Telegraphs. It’s made by the Carron Company, which was huge. It’s got a feud with the next village over who invented the stamp. I think it was us, though.
Old milestone582 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Old milestone in County Dublin claims GPO is three miles away and Malahide six. It’s basically telling you that the city centre is still a decent walk away.
Casino at MarinoHeritage attraction · 824 ydExplorer Tom Casino at Marino in County Dublin is a fancy name for a building by the water. It's not for gambling, unless you count losing your sense of direction. Take a picture of the view.
Mp2Old milestone · 1114 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Old milestone in County Dublin claims GPO is two miles and Malahide is seven, which sounds about right if you’re running on empty legs. I’d bet the stone knows the shortcut to a good pub. Check the numbers!
London Plane1128 ydExplorer Tom London Plane in County Dublin is playing hide-and-seek with my curiosity. It’s got that fancy trunk look, so pretend you’re a lost aristocrat and nobody will check your credentials.
Clontarf CastleCastle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 1605 ydExplorer Tom Clontarf Castle has a mock Norman keep added in 1837, which is quite cheeky for a Tudor-Revival house. Adam de Phephoe was there way back when. Bring your worst joke, the place has heard worse from tourists.
Clontarf Castle HotelVisitor information · 1.0 miExplorer Tom Clontarf Castle Hotel has been around since 1936, so it's seen better days and definitely worse weather. The picture shows it looking a bit tired, so maybe the ghost of the original owner is just napping in the lobby.
Killing of David ByrneMurder · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Killing of David Byrne in County Dublin is near the Regency Airport Hotel, which sounds very fancy. The death happened close to a main route. Take a pic of the hotel and pretend you’re checking in for good.
Battle of ClontarfMajor battlefield · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Battle of Clontarf in County Dublin is where Brian Boru and the Vikings had their big noisy argument over a thousand years ago. The ground probably still remembers who kicked whom, so step gently or you’ll wake them up.
Seán Russell Memorial StatueMemorial · 1.2 miExplorer Tom The Seán Russell Memorial Statue in Fairview Park was once painted with a rainbow base, which is very on-brand for Dublin. He looks serious now, but he used to be colorful. Get that shot!
