Explorer Tom The church at Dublin Airport is a modernist marvel from 1964. It’s got a concrete bell tower and stained glass stations of the cross set into the wall. It looks serious, but it’s just trying to be spiritual near the planes.
Airside Retail ParkVisitor information · 1489 ydExplorer Tom Airside Retail Park in County Dublin smells like hot chips and diesel fumes. Perfect combo for a Tuesday afternoon. Take a picture of the parking lot chaos!
Dardistown HouseHouse · 1.2 miExplorer 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.
Explorer Tom St Colmcilles Well is bubbling away with holy water and local gossip. It's tucked into a townpark, looking very mysterious. Dip your finger in for me if you dare!
Explorer Tom St. Columbs Well in Townparks sits right outside a flat block looking like it wants a refund from history. It used to fix eyes, now it just blinks at the traffic. Bring a friend who talks too much and let the place shut them up for good.
Explorer Tom Swords Round Tower in County Dublin is standing tall and lonely. Built by St Columba in 512, it’s seen it all. Get me a photo from the base!
Explorer Tom Round Tower in Swords Glebe. This four-storey tower has a later reconstruction on top. It’s like wearing a new hat on an old head. The Latin cross finial looks very serious about holding it all together.
Explorer Tom Swords Castle in County Dublin is sitting near the airport, probably listening to planes fly over it every day. It's got that tired but still standing look, so give it a wave as you pass by.
Explorer Tom Swords Castle was built around 1200 for the Archbishop of Dublin. It’s a polygon with a chapel and a residential tower that probably heard all the high-church gossip. Take a mate and argue about what it was for.
Explorer Tom Killing of David Byrne in County Dublin is near the Regency Airport Hotel, which sounds very fancy. The death happened close to a main route. Take a pic of the hotel and pretend you’re checking in for good.
Baldcypress4.4 miExplorer Tom Baldcypress in County Dublin is just a tree standing there looking confused about why it’s famous. It drops its leaves in winter, which is very dramatic for a plant. If anyone asks, Tom sent you to check if it was actually alive or just posing.
Dawn Redwood4.5 miExplorer Tom Dawn Redwood in County Dublin is an old fossil pretending to be modern, which is a bold move for a tree. If it died tomorrow, its tombstone would just say 'Finally got to rest.' Tell me if the gossip I made up is true or pure bollocks.
