public house22 ydExplorer 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 ydExplorer Tom A shop in Lucan Demesne that’s part of a two-storey group on Main Street. It complains to the council about parking and the fact that nobody buys its stock anymore. It’s modest but integral to the street vibe. Go forth and shop wisely, or don't!
Lucan Garda Síochána StationRic barracks · 38 ydExplorer Tom Lucan Garda Station is a handsome barracks that keeps its original street face despite a full makeover. It closes off the view south, so no peeking at what’s next. If it rains, imagine the sound of old RIC officers snoring in their sleep and you’ll never feel alone again.
Man-made underground passage277 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Man-made underground passage in Lucan and Pettycanon has stone steps leading down into the dark. A beehive chamber waits inside, probably judging your life choices as you descend. Look up, the best bit is always higher than you think.
Holy well in Lucan DemesneHoly well · 538 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this holy well.Explorer Tom Holy well in Lucan Demesne is an 18th-century bath house that might have swallowed a holy well. It’s on the demesne of Lucan House, so it’s got some posh vibes. Look for the ghost, then pretend you didn't.
Children's playground1272 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-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 ydExplorer 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 miTom: I’m here to help · Computer-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 miExplorer Tom Ginkgo in County Dublin would tell its younger self to stop trying so hard to look prehistoric. It’s a survivor, but it doesn’t need to brag about being older than dinosaurs every five minutes. Pretend you're a lost aristocrat, nobody will check your ID at the park gate.
Luttrellstown CastleCastle · 1.4 miExplorer 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 miExplorer Tom Giant Sequoia in County Dublin is having an existential crisis because it has an imaginary twin across the sea it’s never met. It’s huge, loud, and completely out of place here, like a giant in a small room. Look for the ghost, then pretend you didn't see anything weird.
Church, GraveyardChurch · 2.2 miExplorer Tom Church in Clonsilla, County Dublin has had so many names it's getting confused. The land has history going back to 500AD, which is older than some of us are old. Bring your nan, she'll know more than me.
