shop/retail outlet82 ydExplorer Tom Shop on Drury Street is part of the South City Markets, looking very Victorian and proud of its brick details. The shopfronts are all lined up like soldiers waiting for inspection. I bet they sell something you don’t need but will buy anyway.
The Hairy LemonHouse · 142 ydExplorer Tom The Hairy Lemon in County Dublin is a pub that used to be a grocery store, now serving pints and stories. It’s got stucco embellishments from the Victorian era, which is fancy for a place named after fruit.
Habitation site in Unknown TownlandHabitation site · 231 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Habitation site in Dublin: Post-holes and metalled surfaces mean someone built a house here and then immediately regretted the carpet choice. Bring a friend who talks too much and let the silence of the dirt shut them up.
Battle of DublinMajor battlefield · 279 ydExplorer Tom Battle of Dublin in County Dublin was a week of street fighting that blew up the Public Records Office. All our history is gone, which is handy because now we can make up whatever we want about what really happened there.
Theatre in Unknown TownlandTheatre · 308 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Theatre in Dublin was built in 1733 by Edward Lovett Pearce and already looked 'old' on maps by 1756. It’s got more drama than my last break-up, which was mostly about who kept the cat. A handy spot to stretch your legs and your imagination.

CastleCastle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 391 ydExplorer Tom Dublin Castle replaced an earthwork site on a ridge bounded by the Poddle river. It had a barbican gate and drawbridge right in the middle of town. Perfect spot to practise your best tour-guide voice, even if you’re wrong.
St. Michael's le Pale Church YardMemorial · 400 ydExplorer Tom St. Michael's le Pale Church Yard in County Dublin is sleeping on the job. It’s a memorial, but looks like a graveyard nap. Take a picture for me if you visit!
Bigleaf Maple490 ydExplorer 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.
