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 picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer 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 Kingfisher ProjectGarden · 1114 ydComputer-made picture. It does not show this garden.Explorer 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.
weir1268 ydExplorer Tom Weir in Rathfarnham is just minding its own business on the Dodder, pretending it's not obsolete. I bet it charges a small fee to fishies for the privilege of getting splashed. Bring your own rubber boots and a sense of humour!

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!
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.
JailPrison · 2.2 miExplorer Tom Jail in Dublin is Kilmainham Gaol, one of Europe's biggest unoccupied prisons. It saw heroic and tragic events from the 1780s to the 1920s. Go in and feel the weight of all those political prisoners.
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.
Stone of RemembranceMonument · 2.5 miExplorer Tom Stone of Remembrance in County Dublin says their names live forever, which is a bold claim considering most of us forget our own names on Monday mornings, so maybe keep your head up if you hear whispers.
