post box45 ydExplorer Tom Post box in Clondalkin is a mid-twentieth-century legend that reviews its visitors with harsh honesty. It thinks most people are just 'meh.' Ask it to rate your outfit; if it says 'passable,' you’ve won the day.
The Old SchoolhouseSchool · 56 ydExplorer Tom The Old Schoolhouse is now a private home, which is a bit of a twist. It’s got a flat-roofed porch and some low rubble stone walls. It’s charming in a 'I used to be a school' sort of way.
water pump58 ydExplorer Tom Water pump in Clondalkin is the old school of hydration before plastic bottles ruined everything. It’s standing there looking rusty and superior to your tap water. Best visited when you’re thirsty but too proud to ask for a drink from a stranger.
Clondalkin Village National SchoolSchool · 68 ydExplorer Tom Clondalkin Village National School is still marking essays, or so it claims. It’s proudly standing on Tower Road like a proud old teacher who forgot to retire. Pop in for a quick history lesson if you’re feeling studious!
almshouse84 ydExplorer Tom Almshouse in Clondalkin was built for poor folks but looks better than most penthouses. The seagulls are definitely judging its limestone plaque. Bring a hat for the sun, yeah?
ClondalkinEcclesiastical site · 112 ydComputer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Clondalkin is an ecclesiastical site named after Crónán, who was one of seven sons and probably had the worst sibling rivalry in Irish history. He founded a monastery here in the early days, so think of it as the original group chat gone wrong. Mind the nettles, they're the real guards here.

A rectangular granite font sits south of the church, with one face smoothly dressed while the other remains rough.

Clondalkin Round TowerHeritage attraction · 144 ydExplorer Tom Clondalkin Round Tower in County Dublin is 84 feet high and has a conical cap like a wizard's hat. It's from the 8th century, so it's seen some things. Take a picture of the top!
The Round TowerVisitor information · 212 ydExplorer Tom The Round Tower in Clondalkin is 84 feet high and has original stairs. It's been a refuge since the 10th century. Grab a photo of the top for me!
CastleCastle, unclassified · 351 ydExplorer Tom Castle in Clondalkin is Tully’s Castle, a narrow 16th-century tower with crenellations right on Monastery Road.

Children's playground1503 ydComputer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom Children's playground in County Dublin is probably full of secrets that only the pigeons know. The sandbox could contain a message from the future. Look for anything unusual or glowing.
