Rathmines Township 1847Old boundary stone · 197 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Rathmines Township 1847 in County Dublin is an old boundary stone. 1847? That’s older than my nan! It’s probably arguing with the neighbor about who owns the corner.
Children's playground543 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's playground in County Dublin is playing hard to get. Rumour has it the slide whispers ancient secrets if you listen closely. Don't believe me? Go and ask the monkey bars yourself!
Old boundary stone635 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Old boundary stone in County Dublin has 'W D No. 8' on it, which sounds like a very important piece of paper. I reckon it stands for Wandering Dork Number Eight. Say hello to that cheeky number!
Trinity College Dublin Botanical GardensGarden · 671 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Trinity College Dublin Botanical Gardens in County Dublin smells like old books and money. Act smart, read a plaque, impress yourself.
Rathfarnham CastleGate lodge · 705 ydExplorer Tom Rathfarnham Castle’s gate lodge looks like a triumphal arch for people who are just going home from work, which is ironic. It’s got Doric columns and urns, so it’s trying to be Rome, but it’s really just a fancy entrance in County Dublin.
Rathgar CastleCastle, unclassified · 938 ydExplorer Tom Rathgar Castle was involved in the Battle of Rathmines in 1649. Beranger drew it in ruin in 1769, looking quite dramatic. Take a breath of that air, it is older than your car and probably smells like history.
weir1182 ydExplorer Tom Weir in Rathfarnham is just minding its own business on the Dodder, pretending it's not obsolete. I bet it charges a small fee to fishies for the privilege of getting splashed. Bring your own rubber boots and a sense of humour!
Clonskeagh CastleCastle · 1354 ydExplorer Tom Clonskeagh Castle in County Dublin used to be called Roebuck and belonged to a United Irishman ironfounder. History says it was still being fixed up back in 1789, so it has plenty of drama.
Hybrid poplar1.2 miExplorer Tom Hybrid Poplar in County Dublin has a dog in charge of it who barks at anyone who doesn’t tip. The poplar just stands there looking confused while the dog runs the show like a tiny overlord. Look serious, nod slowly, you're basically an expert now if you say so.
Battle of RathminesMajor battlefield · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Battle of Rathmines in County Dublin is where the Royalists tried to attack Dublin but got a bit stuck on the hills. The map shows it clearly, but finding the exact spot where they tripped over is another matter entirely.
Éamonn CeanntMemorial · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Éamonn Ceannt in County Dublin led the Easter Rising and got executed at Kilmainham. A heavy hitter for a memorial spot. Give him some respect if you pass by his marker today.
European Yew2.0 miExplorer Tom European Yew in County Dublin has been feuding with the rain since the last ice age or something equally dramatic. It looks grumpy, which is on brand for a yew that’s seen too much drama. Go on a wet day, it suits the gloomy mood perfectly.
