bridge240 ydExplorer 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 ydExplorer Tom The 9th Lock at Clondalkin Bridge held a dance that went too far last night. It’s got original features and adds character to the group, basically the life of the canal party. End this one with your own twist on
lock keeper's house326 ydExplorer 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 ydExplorer 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 ydExplorer 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 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer 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!
The Round TowerVisitor information · 1082 ydExplorer Tom The Round Tower in Clondalkin is 84 feet high and has original stairs. It's been a refuge since the 10th century. Grab a photo of the top for me!
Round Tower1149 ydExplorer 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 ydExplorer 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 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer 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 ydExplorer 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.
Griffeen Valley WalkWalking route · 1.8 miExplorer 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!
