Academy of Medical Laboratory ScienceHouse · 52 ydExplorer Tom Academy of Medical Laboratory Science in Old Kilmainham is a fancy house pretending to be a school for people who look at blood samples all day. It would complain to the council about the noise from the lab equipment. Twist on: check if anyone inside is currently looking very pale.
Echlin HousePresbytery/parochial/curate's house · 146 ydExplorer Tom Echlin House is a former presbytery with some fancy yellow brick detailing against red brick. Built around 1895, it’s got a hipped roof and cast-iron rainwater goods. Give those polychrome bricks a little wave for me!
Garda StationStables · 170 ydExplorer Tom This Garda Station used to be stables for retired soldiers in 1866. Imagine old guys patrolling their horses while complaining about the damp. Now it’s police HQ, so keep your ears open for hoofbeats and sirens.
post box181 ydExplorer Tom Post box in County Dublin is a cast-iron thing from 1905 with an Edward VII insignia. It was made by W.T. Allen & Co in London. After Independence, they just repainted it instead of replacing it, which is a bit cheeky but effective. Give the letter slot a little kiss!
Bullys AcreEcclesiastical site · 279 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Buly's Acre. This graveyard was closed after a cholera epidemic and used by paupers until the 19th century. It’s a quiet, solemn place with a heavy history. The high cross shaft stands as a silent witness to it all.
Bully's AcreGraveyard · 321 ydExplorer Tom Bully's Acre in County Dublin sounds like it’s got some serious attitude. I bet the ghosts there are still arguing about who’s the boss.
Royal Hospital KilmainhamHeritage attraction · 383 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.
Kilmainham Jail MuseumMuseum · 400 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 · 417 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 · 461 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.
Silver maple1288 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.
Horse-chestnut1525 ydExplorer Tom Horse-chestnut in County Dublin is waiting for a cow that tried to buy it with a milk ticket last Tuesday. The cow left without paying and the tree is still fuming about the audacity of the whole situation. It's the kind of place that makes a dull Tuesday interesting, trust me.
