Church (in ruins)Graveyard · 44 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Church. This graveyard has a stream running along its bottom edge, which feels like an unusual boundary for the dead. It was in use as early as 1547, so that water has been flowing past graves for ages.
Bluebell Church (ruins)Ruins · 46 ydExplorer Tom Bluebell Church in County Dublin is hiding among the cemetery flowers, looking very posh and dead. A nice spot for a quiet sob. Say hello to the blooms.

Our Lady of the WaysideChurch/chapel · 380 ydExplorer Tom Our Lady of the Wayside in County Dublin is a big red brick church from '68. It was built for the Bluebell estates before they became industrial land. The bell tower stands tall and square.
Lansdowne HouseHouse · 416 ydExplorer Tom Lansdowne House in County Dublin was built by its owner himself back in 1952. It’s a mid-century gem with a flat roof and weird corner windows. Jack Moran was clearly a bit of a show-off!
Children's playground582 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's playground in County Dublin looks like it’s up to something. Maybe the swings are tuned to a frequency that makes you dance? Take a picture for me if you pass!
The LairChildren's playground · 1216 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom The Lair in County Dublin is unknown territory, so assume it's full of wolves or just very aggressive toddlers. It's a playground, but 'Lair' sounds like you'll need a sword to get through.
Church in ruins, GraveyardGraveyard · 1349 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Church in ruins, Graveyard. Le Fanu Park used to be this graveyard, now completely landscaped over. The foundations are gone, but I like thinking that every park bench sits right on top of a 19th-century headstone.
Executions of the leaders of the 1916 risingMemorial · 1.5 miExplorer Tom Executions of the leaders of the 1916 rising is pointing at Kilmainham Gaol like it’s blaming the building for everything. Fourteen guys got the axe, but this spot just wants you to feel dramatic about the whole bloody affair.
Magazine FortCastle · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Magazine Fort in County Dublin is named after storing stuff, probably gunpowder or something equally explosive. It's sitting there looking solid, so maybe don't bring matches just to be safe, yeah?
Éamonn CeanntMemorial · 2.0 miExplorer Tom Éamonn Ceannt in County Dublin led the Easter Rising and got executed at Kilmainham. A heavy hitter for a memorial spot. Give him some respect if you pass by his marker today.
Horse-chestnut2.1 miExplorer Tom Horse-chestnut in County Dublin is waiting for a cow that tried to buy it with a milk ticket last Tuesday. The cow left without paying and the tree is still fuming about the audacity of the whole situation. It's the kind of place that makes a dull Tuesday interesting, trust me.
Silver maple2.2 miExplorer Tom Silver maple in County Dublin is just a tree, but it looks like it's judging your life choices from its high perch. Bring wellies and low expectations, leave delighted because the leaves are doing something fancy with the wind.
