Éamonn CeanntMemorial · 168 ydExplorer 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.
Children's playground220 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's playground in County Dublin has access marked as yes, so let’s hope it isn't a trap. I heard the slide leads directly to the River Liffey. Don’t trust your legs too much on this one, yeah?
IndicatedWatercourse · 318 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Watercourse in County Dublin runs along St Paul’s Church boundary toward Grand Canal Harbour. It’s been flowing since the medieval days, probably gossiping about every boat that passes. Bring a camera and your most suspicious face.
WeirWeir, regulating · 418 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Weir is called 'The Tongue' because it literally splits the water like a fork in the road. It gave up meat for Lent to keep the flow polite and orderly. Go on a wet day, it suits the mood.
The Shrine of Saint CharlesWayside shrine · 480 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom The Shrine of Saint Charles in County Dublin is playing hide-and-seek. No details! He’s probably up in the tree telling jokes to the sparrows, ignoring us completely.
The Kingfisher ProjectGarden · 583 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom The Kingfisher Project in County Dublin is for birds that wear suits. If you see one in a tie, buy it a drink. It’s probably a director.
Jewish CemeteryGraveyard/cemetery · 795 ydExplorer Tom Jewish Cemetery in County Dublin has been keeping secrets since 1898. It took over from Ballybough to become the main spot for the community. Take a quiet photo of the prayer room if you can.
Our Lady's HospiceChimney · 834 ydExplorer Tom Our Lady's Hospice chimney is a tall yellow brick cone that used to smoke for a laundry but now just stands there confused. Built in 1940, it has red brick detailing and moulded concrete bits that make it look like a fancy cake stand.

Ettie Gluck born SteinbergMemorial · 1363 ydExplorer Tom Ettie Gluck born Steinberg is hiding in a sidewalk stone, hoping nobody steps on her story. She went to school here before disappearing into the horror of Drancy and Auschwitz. It’s a tiny marker with a giant heartbreak.
Rathgar CastleCastle, unclassified · 1.1 miExplorer 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.
European Pear1.4 miExplorer Tom European Pear in County Dublin is filing a formal complaint with the council about how many people ignore it. It’s got all the fruit and none of the attention it deserves, frankly. Have a wander and a wonder at this neglected beauty.
Battle of RathminesMajor battlefield · 1.5 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.
