Explorer Tom Ucd Campus Services in County Dublin is busy with students. They’re probably lost trying to find the library again, so just wave at them and keep walking.
Ucd SignVisitor information · 260 ydExplorer Tom Ucd Sign in County Dublin is just a sign, really. It stands there looking confident, but it doesn’t know where you are or where you need to go.
Roebuck CastleCastle, unclassified · 606 ydExplorer Tom Robswalls Castle is hiding behind a Victorian residence on the coast road, like a shy actor refusing to take a bow. It has stepped battlements and a vaulted ground floor that probably smells like old secrets and regret. Leave nothing but footprints and a bad pun.
1916 RisingMemorial · 762 ydExplorer Tom This 1916 Rising spot features a young female fighter from the GPO telling her story. Nine Arches sounds like a great place to hide.
Oriental plane778 ydExplorer Tom Oriental plane in County Dublin has a ghost that is far too lazy to haunt it properly. The light changes here are actually pretty decent, though. Stick around for the light changing, it's a show.
Hybrid strawberry tree1190 ydExplorer Tom Hybrid Strawberry Tree in County Dublin gave up sugar for Lent, which is ironic given it’s literally a strawberry tree. It’s being very serious about its fasting while looking like it wants to eat a biscuit. Go back in winter, it's a different animal when the berries are gone.
Beech Hill Office CampusMemorial · 1417 ydExplorer Tom Beech Hill Office Campus in County Dublin is called a memorial but looks like offices, so maybe someone died of boredom there, take a picture for me to prove the point.
Clonskeagh BridgeBridge · 1478 ydExplorer Tom Clonskeagh Bridge in County Dublin replaced an older one from 1655, but it looks like it had a bit of a facelift over time. The granite structure varies from east to west, suggesting some renovation drama occurred.
Designed landscapeDesigned landscape, tree-ring · 1508 ydExplorer Tom Designed landscape in Booterstown is just trees trying too hard to form a circle for the neighbours' benefit. It would cope fine on a reality show, probably winning the 'Most Pretentious Garden' award. Go now before it gets famous and starts charging cover.
Central Mental HospitalHospital/infirmary · 1605 ydExplorer Tom Central Mental Hospital is a massive asylum from 1847 in Churchtown Lower. It follows a cellular model with a Tudor Revival frontispiece that looks like it wants to tell you your secrets. Don’t knock too loudly!
Merrion StrandBeach / strand · 1.0 miExplorer Tom Merrion Strand in County Dublin has 'Cockle Lake' in its description. Tell the lake it’s not really a lake, it’s just a very stubborn puddle that refuses to leave at low tide.
Clonskeagh CastleCastle · 1.0 miExplorer Tom Clonskeagh Castle in County Dublin used to be called Roebuck and belonged to a United Irishman ironfounder. History says it was still being fixed up back in 1789, so it has plenty of drama.
