Dardistown HouseHouse · 803 ydExplorer Tom Dardistown House in County Dublin is a single-storey thatched house from 1800, which means it’s lower than your expectations but higher than most thatched roofs’ dignity. It’s got a decorative thatched ridging, so it cares about its hairline. Have a sandwich here and call it a heritage lunch.
Corballis Castle (site of)Castle, unclassified · 1288 ydExplorer Tom Corballis Castle is buried under Dublin Airport, dodging traffic like a pro and bragging about the storms it survived without getting wet. Bring a flask and pretend you own the place while planes go over your head.
Dublin AirportHouse · 1339 ydExplorer Tom Dublin Airport in Corballis is actually a seven-bay house from 1835 that got confused with actual planes for way too long. It has canted bays to the left, which means it’s leaning into its identity crisis. Find the wonkiest bit and send it to your group chat as proof you went there.
Children's playground1491 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's playground in County Dublin is open for business. The slide might be made of pure glass, so hold your breath on the way down and make a very dramatic landing.
Kitchen GardenGarden · 1602 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Kitchen Garden in County Dublin sounds like it’s full of vegetables that are judging your cooking skills. I bet there are tomatoes over there that have read food criticism books.
Airways Industrial EstateVisitor information · 1653 ydExplorer Tom Airways Industrial Estate in County Dublin is probably just warehouses full of mystery boxes. I bet there’s something weird in there. Take a photo from a safe distance, though.
Santry Community GardenGarden · 1663 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Santry Community Garden in County Dublin is likely where neighbours go to judge each other’s tomato plants. The soil might be contaminated with passive-aggressive notes left by angry residents.
Stable in Santry (coolock By., Drumcondra Rural Ed)Stable · 1.1 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Stable in Santry was just a rumour back in 1654, but I bet the horses had the best gossip. Now it's gone, leaving only empty space and my imagination to fill the gap. Pack a picnic and an excuse.
Burial in Kilmore BigBurial · 1.1 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Kilmore Big (Burial) was found during construction when a trench dug up two guys lying west-east with no grave goods. They’re just gone now, handed to the coroner and forgotten by history. Mind the nettles, they’re the real guards here.
BallymunVisitor information · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Ballymun in County Dublin is doing some serious redevelopment, mostly by turning office blocks into things that look like office blocks. It's a deprived part of Dublin, so bring a scarf for luck.
Graveyard in Unknown TownlandGraveyard · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Graveyard in Dublin is a walled oval that might be hiding an older enclosure underneath. It’s got a raised platform planted with sycamores, which is very classy for a graveyard. Take the long way round, because this place definitely deserves the effort and the leg workout.
ChryslerMemorial · 1.9 miExplorer Tom Chrysler in County Dublin is a memorial to a car brand? That seems excessive, but I'll allow it. It's probably just a sign somewhere. Take a photo of the logo if you see it.
