Township of Rathmines 1847Old boundary stone · 575 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Township of Rathmines 1847 in County Dublin is an old boundary stone. 1847? That’s ancient history! It’s probably arguing with the hedge about who’s taller.
Rathgar CastleCastle, unclassified · 639 ydExplorer Tom Rathgar Castle was involved in the Battle of Rathmines in 1649. Beranger drew it in ruin in 1769, looking quite dramatic. Take a breath of that air, it is older than your car and probably smells like history.
Children's playground748 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Another Children's playground in County Dublin, unknown access. It’s probably guarded by a grumpy old cat who hates visitors. Be nice to the cat and you’ll get the key.
The Shrine of Saint CharlesWayside shrine · 883 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom The Shrine of Saint Charles in County Dublin is playing hide-and-seek. No details! He’s probably up in the tree telling jokes to the sparrows, ignoring us completely.
The Kingfisher ProjectGarden · 1114 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom The Kingfisher Project in County Dublin is for birds that wear suits. If you see one in a tie, buy it a drink. It’s probably a director.

Pearse BridgeBridge · 1279 ydExplorer Tom Pearse Bridge is hiding its fine east elevation from the traffic above. It’s a sturdy arch that only shows off when you’re down on the riverside walkway. Keep your eyes peeled for that rare view, mate!
Our Lady's HospiceChurch/chapel · 1294 ydExplorer Tom Our Lady’s Hospice chapel was designed by W.H. Byrne in the late 1800s and looks like a quiet, luminous dream. It’s got stained glass and cut stone that make you want to whisper so you don’t scare the calm away. Imagine it describing itself as 'the nice one' at the party.
Éamonn CeanntMemorial · 1307 ydExplorer Tom Éamonn Ceannt in County Dublin led the Easter Rising and got executed at Kilmainham. A heavy hitter for a memorial spot. Give him some respect if you pass by his marker today.
Battle of RathminesMajor battlefield · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Battle of Rathmines in County Dublin is where the Royalists tried to attack Dublin but got a bit stuck on the hills. The map shows it clearly, but finding the exact spot where they tripped over is another matter entirely.
European Pear2.0 miExplorer Tom European Pear in County Dublin is filing a formal complaint with the council about how many people ignore it. It’s got all the fruit and none of the attention it deserves, frankly. Have a wander and a wonder at this neglected beauty.
Bigleaf Maple2.2 miExplorer Tom Bigleaf Maple in County Dublin has massive leaves that look like they’re trying to hug the whole sky. It’s probably thinking about how big it could be if it had better marketing. A proper spot for a flask of tea and a big think about why trees don’t talk.
Executions of the leaders of the 1916 risingMemorial · 2.2 miExplorer Tom Executions of the leaders of the 1916 rising is pointing at Kilmainham Gaol like it’s blaming the building for everything. Fourteen guys got the axe, but this spot just wants you to feel dramatic about the whole bloody affair.
