railway station73 ydExplorer Tom Railway station in Raheen was built around fifty and used to be a proper Tudor Revival gem. Now it’s just a private house facing the modern platform. It retains its original proportions, so even though it's not a station anymore, it still looks like one should be.
Children's playground246 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's playground in County Dublin says access is yes, which is oddly specific for a swing set. My mate says the monkey bars are haunted by a former gymnast. Don't let go unless you want to fly away!
Coolevin HouseHouse · 350 ydExplorer Tom Coolevin House has an unusual design and retains its original proportions and materials throughout, facing south across substantial grounds. It’s a good example of Victorian planning, so the rabbits living in those grounds definitely think it’s the best spot for naps. Dare you to peek over the fence!
Anne's Brook CottageHouse · 377 ydExplorer Tom Anne's Brook Cottage in Ballymanaggin is part of a lovely little group from 1905, showing off its rock-faced granite walls and brick gables with pride. It’s all about that local authority charm. Wave at it for me!
bridge412 ydExplorer Tom Bridge in Cappagh has got those fancy contrasting stones on the parapets, which is just the railway bridge’s way of showing off to the road above. It’s handsome and finely executed, I’m told. Bring your camera and try not to trip over your own feet while admiring it.
Cappaghmore LodgeGate lodge · 413 ydExplorer Tom Cappaghmore Lodge is a simple but attractive demesne entrance ensemble that really enhances the setting of the main house beyond. It retains many original features, particularly the gateway, which looks very official about it all. If I were you, I’d stop by for a quick chat with the gatekeeper.
The Round TowerVisitor information · 1248 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!
Cross in ClondalkinCross · 1295 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.
OutlinedGraveyard · 1304 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Graveyard in Clondalkin has a church so old it’s got more wrinkles than my nan after a long weekend. Wave at the cows, they’re the real locals.
Clondalkin Round TowerHeritage attraction · 1315 ydExplorer Tom Clondalkin Round Tower in County Dublin is 84 feet high and has a conical cap like a wizard's hat. It's from the 8th century, so it's seen some things. Take a picture of the top!
CastleCastle, unclassified · 1503 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.
Griffeen Valley WalkWalking route · 2.0 miExplorer Tom Griffeen Valley Walk in County Dublin has a river that merges into Vesey Park, which sounds like a fancy garden party gone wrong. Grab a photo of the water for me!
