garda station/constabulary barracks50 ydExplorer Tom Garda station or constabulary barracks in Chapelizod used to scare the locals with its robust limestone entrance. Now it’s a care home, so the only thing left to fear is the paperwork and the Arts and Crafts tiles.
Barracks in Unknown TownlandBarracks · 110 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Barracks in Dublin started because two lads bet they could build a wall before the rain stopped. They lost, but the barracks stayed anyway, which is how most good things happen here, so walk past slowly like you're in a film.
school130 ydExplorer Tom School in Chapelizod looks like it might be a school or just an industrial shed that got confused. It’s right by the marketplace, looking vaguely official. Peek through the windows to see if any ghosts are still learning!
church/chapel140 ydExplorer Tom Church or chapel in New Row is all round-headed windows and Presbyterian secrets from the mill workers' days. It would post about its new lease on life, but with a lot more judgment. Go n: whisper 'amen' just to see if it flinches!
bridge142 ydExplorer Tom Bridge in Chapelizod is old enough to remember when the postman was actually feared. It’s got concrete on one side like it forgot which century it’s in. Bring your sense of history and leave your doubt at home.
Armorial plaque in Unknown TownlandArmorial plaque · 210 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Armorial plaque in Dublin features a rampant lion at 39 Main Street that allegedly had a motto above it. I bet the motto was 'Mind Your Business' because this lion looks absolutely furious about something.
Children's playground358 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom This Children's playground in County Dublin is private, so it must be hiding something big. I bet there's a secret base under the sandbox. Bring your detective hat and some chalk for marking clues.
Markievicz PlaygroundChildren's playground · 959 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Markievicz Playground in County Dublin is keeping its cards close to the chest. Legend says the slide leads directly to the bottom of the sea. Don’t believe me? Go find out yourself!
Oldtown WoodWood · 1372 ydExplorer Tom Oldtown Wood in County Dublin gives a glimpse of the 'Fifteen Acres' and mountains. Sounds like a real estate listing. Probably beautiful though. Take a picture of the gap, not just the trees.
Executions of the leaders of the 1916 risingMemorial · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Executions of the leaders of the 1916 rising is pointing at Kilmainham Gaol like it’s blaming the building for everything. Fourteen guys got the axe, but this spot just wants you to feel dramatic about the whole bloody affair.
Horse-chestnut1.5 miExplorer Tom Horse-chestnut in County Dublin is waiting for a cow that tried to buy it with a milk ticket last Tuesday. The cow left without paying and the tree is still fuming about the audacity of the whole situation. It's the kind of place that makes a dull Tuesday interesting, trust me.
Castleknock CastleCastle · 1.8 miExplorer Tom Castleknock Castle in County Dublin is perched right on top of a big old mound, just showing off. It's next to a college, so maybe the students are living in ghost stories now?
