James Joyce Pub AwardMemorial · 1 ydExplorer Tom James Joyce Pub Award in County Dublin is given for being an authentic Irish pub. Which mostly means they serve cold stew and stare at you. Enjoy the vibe!
Blackrock Baths (closed)Ruins · 210 ydExplorer Tom Blackrock Baths in County Dublin are closed, but I suspect they’re still warm from all that steam. The nuns probably hated the cold water. Enjoy the chill factor!
Children's playground389 ydComputer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom This Children's playground in County Dublin has a slide that’s actually a riverbed. Fish might jump out if you’re fast enough. I saw one once, but it was probably a hallucination.
Rockfield HouseGates/railings/walls · 979 ydExplorer Tom Rockfield House gates in County Dublin are granite piers with pine cones on top, installed way back in 1905. They look like they were stolen from a castle. Stand by them and pose.
Booterstown MarshNature reserve · 1397 ydExplorer Tom Booterstown Marsh in County Dublin was photographed by someone named Albert White back in 2007. That’s quite a while ago, so the reeds might have grown taller since then. Find it and send me a current picture to compare with old times!
SeapointBeach / strand · 1482 ydExplorer Tom Seapoint in County Dublin has rocks and buoys that stop motorboats from getting too close to you. I reckon the sea is just being polite, giving everyone some personal space while you try not to slip on the wet stones.
Stillorgan ObeliskMonument · 1.0 miExplorer Tom Stillorgan Obelisk in County Dublin stands tall and proud, probably because it thinks it's a finger pointing at the sky, but honestly it just looks like a very serious, very thin concrete pencil waiting for an eraser.
McCabe's Villas PlaygroundChildren's playground · 1.1 miComputer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom McCabe's Villas Playground in County Dublin is waving at you from behind a fence. The slides are said to be haunted by a very cheeky clown. If he honks his horn, run as fast as you can!
Graveyard in Monkstown HousefarmGraveyard · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Graveyard in Monkstown Housefarm is a trapezoidal walled site with a pointed arched gateway. The west gable of the medieval church is part of a 17th-century charnel-house, which is a fancy way of saying they kept bones there, so maybe don’t eat your lunch if you’re squeamish.

Bawn in Monkstown CastlefarmBawn · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Coursed granite blocks form an L-shaped wall here; once part of St Mary's Abbey grange, now a quiet remnant by the road.
Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Three storeys high with battlements, this tower house sits in the bawn corner; look for that blocked entrance and spiral stair!
Oriental plane1.5 miExplorer Tom Oriental plane number three in County Dublin is still stuck on that Italian photo. It’s getting embarrassing. Tell this tree to grow up and find its own roots, not someone else's.
