Irish Museum of Modern ArtGate lodge · 27 ydExplorer Tom Irish Museum of Modern Art gate lodge on South Circular Road in County Dublin is actually Richmond Tower, moved here in 1847 because of traffic congestion. It’s got a five-stage round tower and crenellated parapet that look like they’re ready for battle. Take a photo of those stepped details for me!
Kilmainham CourthouseCourt house · 45 ydExplorer Tom Kilmainham Courthouse in County Dublin was built in 1820 to replace an older courthouse near Kilmainham Gaol. It has a formal pedimented breakfront and long involvement with Dublin’s legal history. Snap a picture of that central pedimented gable for me!
Kilmainham GaolHospital/infirmary · 73 ydExplorer Tom Kilmainham Gaol infirmary is an archive now, which means lots of dust and old files. It was built for prisoners, so if you feel like you're in trouble, just check your pockets and keep walking.
Kilmainham Jail MuseumMuseum · 90 ydExplorer Tom Kilmainham Jail Museum in County Dublin is basically the same place as the gaol, but with a brochure. It’s like going to the same party twice. Grab a souvenir for me.
JailPrison · 124 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.
Executions of the leaders of the 1916 risingMemorial · 148 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.
Royal Hospital KilmainhamHeritage attraction · 434 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.
Stone of RemembranceMonument · 698 ydExplorer Tom Stone of Remembrance in County Dublin says their names live forever, which is a bold claim considering most of us forget our own names on Monday mornings, so maybe keep your head up if you hear whispers.
Islandbridge LodgeVisitor information · 903 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.
Silver maple1197 ydExplorer Tom Silver maple in County Dublin is using a Grimes Farm photo. It’s showing off its American cousin. Tell it that maple syrup doesn’t taste as good when it’s pretending to be Irish.
Horse-chestnut1316 ydExplorer Tom Horse-chestnut in County Dublin is all about the nuts. The photo shows some in Germany, so this one might be an impostor. Check for chestnuts before you touch it!

Croppies Acre MemorialMemorial · 1733 ydExplorer Tom Croppies Acre Memorial in County Dublin has a great exterior view waiting for you. It’s a memorial, so keep it dignified, but also check out the surroundings. The whole place looks like it’s posing for a history book cover.
