Children's playground337 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's playground in County Dublin is probably full of secrets that only the pigeons know. The sandbox could contain a message from the future. Look for anything unusual or glowing.
Inflata ZoneChildren's playground · 756 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Inflata Zone in County Dublin is probably just a giant pillow waiting to burst. No records, so I bet it’s full of ghosts and bouncy castles from the Jurassic era. Go on, check if anything is still inflated!
Clondalkin LibraryLibrary/archive · 783 ydExplorer Tom Clondalkin Library in Clondalkin is an Arts and Crafts building that looks like a castle and a church had a baby. T.J. Byrne designed it with vertical buttressing, which makes it look like it’s trying to stand up straight after a long nap. Go on a wet day.
IndicatedEarthwork · 863 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Earthwork in Redcow is under the Naas dual carriageway, so it's basically a subterranean commuter. It makes a humming sound at night, probably from all the traffic above. Ideal stop for a big stretch and a bigger yawn about bad roads.
CastleCastle, unclassified · 879 ydExplorer Tom Castle in Clondalkin is Tully’s Castle, a narrow 16th-century tower with crenellations right on Monastery Road. It’s in state care, so it’s basically a celebrity that can’t leave the house. Ring your granny and tell her where you are before she worries about the round tower.
Grand CanalLock · 898 ydExplorer Tom The Eighth Lock on the Grand Canal is still doing its job from 1775. It lifts boats up and down like an elevator, but much slower and with way more limestone drama and concrete patches.
St Anne'sHouse · 938 ydExplorer Tom St Anne's is a charming little house on Monastery Road that hasn't changed much since the thirties. It has a bay window and some nice cast-iron railings with geometric patterns. It’s one of those survivors that kept its original look, so appreciate it properly!
Aras ChronainHouse · 1000 ydExplorer Tom Aras Chronain has round-headed windows and looks like it belongs in a fairy tale. It’s now an education centre, so go in and learn something new, or at least pretend to be taking notes while you snack on biscuits.
Cross in ClondalkinCross · 1149 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Cross in Clondalkin. A tall granite cross stands in St. John's graveyard, yet its arms are noticeably asymmetrical. It leans slightly into the wind, looking less like perfect symmetry and more like a tired traveler.
The Round TowerVisitor information · 1218 ydExplorer Tom The Round Tower in Clondalkin is 84 feet high and has original stairs. It's been a refuge since the 10th century. Grab a photo of the top for me!
Norman MotteCastle · 1513 ydExplorer Tom Norman Motte in County Dublin is a big mound controlling an old road, with a deep ditch that looks impressive. The bailey bank loops around the hill, so it's basically a natural fort hiding in plain sight.
Veronica Guerin memorialMemorial · 1.1 miExplorer Tom The Veronica Guerin memorial in County Dublin is right there in the Dubhlinn Gardens, looking very determined about getting her message across. It’s a bit of a double entry for us, but she deserves the extra attention. Tell her Tom said hi!
