Wellington MonumentObelisk · 168 ydExplorer Tom Chapelizod’s Wellington Monument is an obelisk that never got its equestrian statue, so it’s stuck looking tall and lonely in Phoenix Park. It was meant to be grand but ended up as a very expensive stick. Take the high ground and look down on it with affection.
Liffey Railway BridgeBridge · 215 ydExplorer Tom Liffey Railway Bridge is just a fancy metal tube that pretends to be important while trains go clunk-clunk over the river. The bargain that built it was probably paid in bad coins and regret. Hang around l ong enough and you’ll hear the ghost of a freight train.
Silver maple329 ydExplorer Tom Silver maple in County Dublin is just a tree, but it looks like it's judging your life choices from its high perch. Bring wellies and low expectations, leave delighted because the leaves are doing something fancy with the wind.
Sean HeustonMemorial · 374 ydExplorer Tom Sean Heuston's memorial in County Dublin is right by Phoenix Park, which has the biggest flower garden in Europe. He was a politician, so he probably liked flowers more than people. Check it out!
Pit-burial in Unknown TownlandPit-burial · 472 ydExplorer Tom Pit-burial in Dublin was found in 2002 during a development north of the Royal Hospital. It’s an unprotected pit with a food vessel, which is basically medieval takeaway packaging. Go now, before it gets famous.
Gairdín Foirmiúil Ospidéal Ríoga Chill MhaighneannVisitor information · 568 ydExplorer Tom Gairdín Foirmiúil Ospidéal Ríoga Chill Mhaighneann is a mouthful that translates to something fancy and dead. Probably a hospital garden where people went to rest. Say hi to the old folks in their heads.
Silver Lime574 ydExplorer Tom Silver Lime in County Dublin is stuck in a fairy dispute over parking rights near its roots. Bring biscuits, because every good story needs biscuits to keep the peace going.
Royal Hospital KilmainhamHeritage attraction · 581 ydExplorer Tom Royal Hospital Kilmainham in County Dublin is heritage. Soldiers used to live there. Take a photo of the red brick facade for me.
Islandbridge LodgeVisitor information · 836 ydExplorer Tom Islandbridge Lodge sounds fancy but it’s probably just a big old house with opinions. The garden might bite back if you’re not polite.

Collins BarracksMuseum · 838 ydExplorer Tom Collins Barracks in County Dublin is showing off its museum muscles again. They’ve got all sorts of old bits in there, so pop in if you fancy looking at dusty artefacts and pretending you’re a historian.
Executions of the leaders of the 1916 risingMemorial · 976 ydExplorer 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.
JailPrison · 993 ydExplorer Tom Jail in Dublin is Kilmainham Gaol, one of Europe's biggest unoccupied prisons. It saw heroic and tragic events from the 1780s to the 1920s. Go in and feel the weight of all those political prisoners.
