Our Lady's Children's HospitalChurch/chapel · 65 ydExplorer Tom Our Lady's Children's Hospital chapel is keeping things calm and luminous, which is weird when you consider it's surrounded by hospitals. The cut stone bell tower looks like it’s mid-yawn. Stick a pin in that stained glass window for me.
Children's playground305 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom Children's playground in County Dublin is playing possum with no records. Maybe the monkey bars are actually vines from a jungle that grew overnight. Swing across and send me a leaf for proof!
Mote (site of)Castle, motte · 400 ydExplorer Tom This possible motte castle belonged to the Royal Manor of Crumlin. Henry Compton had fierce opposition from tenants back in 1290. Find the date carved somewhere and feel clever, even if it is just a legend.
Ecclesiastical enclosure in Unknown TownlandEcclesiastical enclosure · 427 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Enclosure in Dublin is under a housing estate and a wholesale outlet, which is the ultimate middle finger to history. Grand place for a sulk or a snog, your call, just don’t step on the imaginary foundation stones.
CrumlinSettlement cluster · 439 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Crumlin is a settlement cluster with a church tower that’s been standing there since before your great-grandparents knew what a 'vibe' was. Its feud with the rain is legendary and ongoing. Bring your own legend, I've run out of them for this damp little spot.
IndicatedChurch · 439 ydExplorer Tom Church in County Dublin has kept its old medieval tower while the rest got a 19th-century makeover. D'Alton called it neat, but I think 'annexed to an ancient tower' sounds fancier. It’s a prebend of St Patrick’s, so it’s definitely part of the big league.
Our Lady of Good Counsel National SchoolsSchool · 446 ydExplorer Tom Drimnagh in Dublin has a school built by William H. O'Donnell in 1943 that looks like it fell off a futuristic tram. Take a snap of those curved bays for me, they’re definitely trying too hard to be modern.
kindergarden playgroundChildren's playground · 457 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom Kindergarden playground in County Dublin is locked away like a state secret. I bet they’re growing tiny humans inside who never age. If you spot a gate, maybe wave at the mysterious occupants?
Carriglea Industrial EstateMemorial · 1298 ydExplorer Tom Carriglea Industrial Estate in County Dublin is an abandoned memorial, which is a bit of a stretch. It looks derelict and spooky, like a factory ghost story. Take a photo but don't stay too long.
Irish Citizen ArmyMemorial · 1707 ydExplorer Tom Irish Citizen Army in County Dublin again! This one paraded at Liberty Hall back in ’16. Probably missed a turn and ended up here. Take a photo for me!
Toni'sPicnic place · 1755 ydExplorer Tom Toni's in County Dublin is having a picnic with itself. It claims to be a spot for snacks, but I suspect the sandwiches are long gone and only crumbs remain.
Bus Route InformationVisitor information · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Bus Route Information for Maynooth University is just a bunch of routes that never seem to run when you need them. The H2 bus is probably stuck in traffic with a flat tyre and a broken radio.
