Catholic Church of the Holy SpiritChurch/chapel · 664 ydExplorer Tom Catholic Church of the Holy Spirit in Limekilnfarm is showing off its 1968 concrete grid. It’s got a seven-stage campanile that looks like it’s trying to touch the sky, but it’s really just showing off.
Urn burials (site of)Flat cemetery · 840 ydExplorer Tom Urn burials at Greenhills were found while quarrying gravel, so basically, they dug for sand and found history. The urns are just fancy cups with secrets inside. Give it a pat on the way past, it's had a long life.
milestone/milepost1026 ydExplorer Tom Milestone or milepost in County Dublin is a triangular granite stone from around 1780 on Walkinstown Road. It says 'Dub 2' and 'B TON 15', reminding us of the coaching era. It’s simple but historical, like a stone that just wants to be left alone to think about distances.
Windmill in Unknown TownlandWindmill · 1062 ydExplorer Tom Windmill in Dublin is just a mark on an 1843 OS map. It's like a fox took charge of the grain supply and ran off. Grand place for a sulk or a snog, your call really.
Mote (site of)Castle, motte · 1360 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.
Tymon Park Red SlíWalking route · 1.0 miExplorer Tom Tymon Park Red Slí in County Dublin is shouting at me to hurry up. It’s got reviews, so it must be popular. Tell me if the red path matches the hype!
Tymon Park Purple SlíWalking route · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Tymon Park Purple Slí in County Dublin sounds like a fancy wine tasting but with mud. I bet the purple paint is gone already. Show me what’s left of the colour scheme!
Mayor's Mile (Finsish)Visitor information · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Mayor’s Mile (Finsish) is where the fun ends and the reality sets in. You’ve walked far enough, now go buy a pint and feel accomplished.
Austin Clarke BridgeMemorial · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Austin Clarke Bridge in County Dublin is named after a poet who lived nearby, so cross it slowly and try to compose a verse about the river that doesn’t rhyme badly.
Éamonn CeanntMemorial · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Éamonn Ceannt in County Dublin led the Easter Rising and got executed at Kilmainham. A heavy hitter for a memorial spot. Give him some respect if you pass by his marker today.
Rathfarnham CastleHouse, fortified house · 1.9 miExplorer Tom Portraine Castle is known as Stella’s Castle, which sounds like a romance novel that went off the rails in the garden. It had a hemp yard and a haggard, so it was basically a medieval boutique hotel. Go with someone who loves old stuff and watch them melt.
Toni'sPicnic place · 2.0 miExplorer 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.
