bridge240 yd

Explorer Tom Bridge in Cappagh has got those fancy contrasting stones on the parapets, which is just the railway bridge’s way of showing off to the road above. It’s handsome and finely executed, I’m told. Bring your camera and try not to trip over your own feet while admiring it.

9th LockLock · 297 yd

lock keeper's house326 yd

Explorer Tom Lock keeper's house in Clonburris Great is sitting by the canal. From 1820, it has ruled and lined render that looks neat. It’s now a private home but keeps its lock-side character. Take a snap of the water view for me!

Coolevin HouseHouse · 329 yd

Explorer Tom Coolevin House has an unusual design and retains its original proportions and materials throughout, facing south across substantial grounds. It’s a good example of Victorian planning, so the rabbits living in those grounds definitely think it’s the best spot for naps. Dare you to peek over the fence!

railway station360 yd

Explorer Tom Railway station in Raheen was built around fifty and used to be a proper Tudor Revival gem. Now it’s just a private house facing the modern platform. It retains its original proportions, so even though it's not a station anymore, it still looks like one should be.

Children's playground448 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this playground.

Explorer Tom Children's playground in County Dublin says access is yes, which is oddly specific for a swing set. My mate says the monkey bars are haunted by a former gymnast. Don't let go unless you want to fly away!

Round Tower1149 yd

Explorer Tom Round Tower in Clondalkin has been standing since the 7th century, watching Dublin grow from mud huts to skyscrapers without losing its cool. It’s seen emperors and engineers, but it’s still just a tall, lonely cylinder in a field. Dare you to say hello to it out loud.

Clondalkin Round TowerHeritage attraction · 1149 yd

Explorer Tom Clondalkin Round Tower in County Dublin is 84 feet high and has a conical cap like a wizard's hat. It's from the 8th century, so it's seen some things. Take a picture of the top!

Cross in ClondalkinCross · 1150 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.

Explorer Tom Cross in Clondalkin. A tall granite cross stands in St. John's graveyard, yet its arms are noticeably asymmetrical. It leans slightly into the wind, looking less like perfect symmetry and more like a tired traveler.

CastleCastle, unclassified · 1437 yd

Explorer Tom Castle in Clondalkin is Tully’s Castle, a narrow 16th-century tower with crenellations right on Monastery Road. It’s in state care, so it’s basically a celebrity that can’t leave the house. Ring your granny and tell her where you are before she worries about the round tower.
