Donnybrook Buzz ShelterGarden · 67 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Donnybrook Buzz Shelter in County Dublin is all about buzzing and hiding. It’s probably full of bees who have very strong opinions on life and flower choices.
Holy well in Unknown TownlandHoly well · 160 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Holy well in Dublin is associated with St Mobi the nun, not the male saint of Glasnevin, located at Eglinton Square. It’s covered by a tower-like super-structure and accessed by steps, making it look like a very small, religious castle.
Enclosure in Unknown TownlandEnclosure · 236 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom A medieval ditch found under Brookvale Road? That’s twelve meters of pure ancient drama. I think there’s a hidden message in its stones about bad plumbing. Sit on a wall near it and pretend you're in a painting.

Simmonscourt CastleCastle, tower house · 636 ydExplorer Tom Simmonscourt Castle had a gate tower that survived when the rest went to make way for a Victorian residence. Beranger drew it in 1766 looking very proper. Go at sunset and thank me later for the atmosphere.
Hybrid strawberry tree688 ydExplorer Tom Hybrid Strawberry Tree in County Dublin gave up sugar for Lent, which is ironic given it’s literally a strawberry tree. It’s being very serious about its fasting while looking like it wants to eat a biscuit. Go back in winter, it's a different animal when the berries are gone.
Saint Broc's WellSpring · 759 ydExplorer Tom Saint Broc's Well in County Dublin claims a saint named Broc lives there now. The plaque says he named the townland, but I think he just liked the vibe. Ask him for a discount on your next pint!
Clonskeagh BridgeBridge · 848 ydExplorer Tom Clonskeagh Bridge in County Dublin replaced an older one from 1655, but it looks like it had a bit of a facelift over time. The granite structure varies from east to west, suggesting some renovation drama occurred.
Hybrid poplar967 ydExplorer 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.
Clonskeagh CastleCastle · 1386 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.

Battle of RathminesMajor battlefield · 1.0 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.
