public house22 yd

Explorer Tom Public house in Lucan and Pettycanon is a seven-bay two-storey pub with a thatched roof it didn't always have. It’s got dormer windows and sits at the head of the park, pouring drinks since 1830.

shop/retail outlet28 yd

Explorer Tom This shop in Lucan Demesne is on a triangular plan! Built in 1815, it’s got those traditional timber shopfronts. It’s two shops now with a dwelling above. Very unique layout, eh?

Lucan Garda Síochána StationRic barracks · 38 yd

Explorer Tom Lucan Garda Station was originally RIC barracks from 1810. It’s got those projecting bows that look like they’re about to pounce. It’s been refurbished but still looks authoritative. Take a picture of the law in action.

outbuilding52 yd

Explorer Tom Outbuilding in Lucan is doing some Gothic nonsense. From 1775, it has gabled parapets and columns that look like they’re trying too hard. It’s related to Griffeen Lodge nearby. Take a photo of its dramatic flair!

Children's playground1272 ydComputer-made picture. It does not show this playground.

Explorer Tom Children's playground in County Dublin might be hiding something big. The fence is wobbly, suggesting a giant tried to get out last winter and failed miserably, leaving a dent in the metal.

Griffeen Valley WalkWalking route · 1738 yd

Explorer 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!

Fort LucanChildren's playground · 1.1 miComputer-made picture. It does not show this playground.

Explorer Tom Fort Lucan playground in County Dublin is mysterious as a castle. Nothing on file, so I bet the ramparts defend against giant ants! Take a picture if you see any siege!

Ginkgo1.1 mi

Explorer Tom Ginkgo in County Dublin is fan-freaking out over itself. The leaves look like little hands waving goodbye. It's probably trying to signal for help from the Jurassic period.

St. Catherines WellsHoly well · 1.2 mi

Explorer Tom St. Catherines Wells in St. Catherine's Park are best mates, one for drinking, one for eyes. They hold a fake record for 'Most Confused Pilgrims'. Stop the car, it's worth the hazard lights.

Luttrellstown CastleCastle · 1.4 mi

Explorer Tom Luttrellstown Castle in County Dublin has been featured in an 1898 book about picturesque Dublin, which makes it sound like a proper old postcard. The Brit Lib has the details, but we'll just enjoy the vibe instead.

Giant Sequoia1.6 mi

Explorer Tom Giant Sequoia in County Dublin? That's like putting an elephant in a cupboard. The photo shows Grizzly Giant, which is miles away. This one is just a big impostor.

Church, GraveyardChurch · 2.2 mi

Explorer Tom Church, Graveyard in Clonsilla is playing hide-and-seek with me. Built in 1846, it claims a medieval ancestor that vanished before the coffee got cold. Snap a photo of the empty spot for me!
