Single-arch stone bridge, built c.1875, carrying Old Cabra Road over former Great Southern and Western Railway line. Rock-faced limestone abutments, with rusticated limestone piers with dressed granite coping. Rusticated limestone and replacement concrete parapet walling with dressed limestone string courses and dressed granite copings. Dressed limestone voussoirs to arch.
A well-built stone road bridge constructed by the Great Southern and Western Railway Company. This bridge retains its rock-faced limestone and dressed granite construction materials which provide visual interest to the otherwise functional structure. This branch line was constructed to connect the company’s terminus at Kingsbridge (now Heuston Station) with Amiens Street (now Connolly Station) and their goods station at North Wall. The branch line, which was constructed between 1872 and 1877, includes a number of stone bridges, the Phoenix Park Tunnel and the Liffey Viaduct.

post box63 yd

Explorer Tom Post box in Grangegorman Middle is standing firm at the corner since 1935. It’s a Carron Company job with dentillated cornices and that P&T monogram. It’s basically street furniture royalty, so give it a little wave if you pass by.

bridge444 yd

Explorer Tom Bridge in Cabragh was built by the Great Southern and Western Railway Company, which sounds like a band that only played on Tuesdays. It’s got rock-faced limestone piers and concrete parapets, so it’s a bit mixed bag. If you spot a train, wave at it respectfully.

John J. HanlonPublic house · 460 yd

Explorer Tom John J. Hanlon public house in County Dublin sits at a busy junction with carved timber shelves inside. It’s got ornate mosaic floors and arcaded shopfronts, so grab a pint and pretend you’re a historical figure admiring the canted bay entrance.

Silver Lime996 yd

Explorer Tom Silver Lime in County Dublin is stuck in a fairy dispute over parking rights near its roots. Bring biscuits, because every good story needs biscuits to keep the peace going.

Silver maple1165 yd

Explorer Tom Silver maple in County Dublin might curse you if you don’t wave at it politely. Practise your Irish on it, it won’t correct your accent, it’s too busy being leafy and cool.

Sean HeustonMemorial · 1201 yd

Explorer Tom Sean Heuston's memorial in County Dublin is right by Phoenix Park, which has the biggest flower garden in Europe. He was a politician, so he probably liked flowers more than people. Check it out!

People's GardenGarden · 1203 yd

Explorer Tom People's Garden in County Dublin is definitely judging your gardening skills from behind the hedge. I heard a gnome lives there and he hates visitors. Wave politely to avoid his wrath!

National Museum of Ireland, Decorative Arts & HistoryMuseum · 1374 yd

Explorer Tom National Museum of Ireland, Decorative Arts & History in County Dublin is just another name for the barracks thing again. They're really stretching that one name thin. It's got a front facade that looks very serious. Take a photo and look unimpressed.

Royal BarracksBarracks · 1422 yd

Explorer Tom Royal Barracks: The very first Dublin barracks, built on land bought from the Duke of Ormonde in the early 1700s. It sounds like a real estate deal where the landlord got paid in military discipline and noise.

Croppies Acre MemorialMemorial · 1596 yd

Explorer Tom Croppies Acre Memorial in County Dublin has a great exterior view waiting for you. It’s a memorial, so keep it dignified, but also check out the surroundings. The whole place looks like it’s posing for a history book cover.

Islandbridge LodgeVisitor information · 1.1 mi

Explorer Tom Islandbridge Lodge sounds fancy but it’s probably just a big old house with opinions. The garden might bite back if you’re not polite.

Dome-Shaped TempleMonument · 1.4 mi

Explorer Tom Dome-Shaped Temple in County Dublin is quoting Rupert Brooke about safety while looking suspiciously round. Don't trust it; domes are always up to something sneaky.
