Memorial to Human Rights DefendersMemorial · 71 ydExplorer Tom Memorial to Human Rights Defenders in County Dublin honors those who gave their lives for courage. It stands in Iveagh Gardens, looking dignified. Pay your respects and take a respectful photo for the group!
Iveagh HouseBuilding misc · 99 ydExplorer Tom Iveagh House on Saint Stephen's Green is actually a former boating tower from 1865. It has a pyramidal roof and copper finial that looks like a giant topper. It’s standing there looking regal while you probably just want a sandwich.
Harrington HallHouse · 158 ydExplorer Tom Harrington Hall on Harcourt Street is dressed up as a hotel now but still has that old townhouse swagger. From around 1800, it boasts a Neo-classical doorcase with fancy glazing. Peek through the sidelights and dream of the past!
Museum of Literature IrelandMuseum · 187 ydExplorer Tom Museum of Literature Ireland in County Dublin is keeping all the words safe in Newman House. It's on St. Stephen's Green, so it's right in the thick of things. Pop in and read a poem!
James JoyceMemorial · 245 ydExplorer Tom James Joyce in County Dublin has a bust looking sternly at passersby. He’s probably writing a novel about your haircut. Don’t make eye contact, it’s distracting.
St. Stephens Green ArboretumGarden · 345 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this garden.Explorer Tom St. Stephens Green Arboretum is full of trees that have seen centuries of gossip. Find the oldest-looking branch and ask it for tea.
Holy well in Unknown TownlandHoly well · 351 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this holy well.Explorer Tom Holy well in Dublin was dedicated to Saint Kevin and served an ancient monastery near Montague Street. Now it’s just a stone trough in a butcher’s kitchen, which is a very gritty place for holy water to end up.
IndicatedPark · 370 ydExplorer Tom Park in Dublin is St Stephen's Green, which was enclosed way back in 1664. They gave out ninety-nine year leases to people by ballot. It’s one of the oldest squares, so walk around like you own the place.
Weeping willow424 ydExplorer Tom Weeping willow in County Dublin is doing that sad face thing, probably because the seagulls are being rude to it. Bring someone who’ll believe anything, like a ghost story or whatever.
Bigleaf Maple1123 ydExplorer Tom Bigleaf Maple in County Dublin has massive leaves that look like they’re trying to hug the whole sky. It’s probably thinking about how big it could be if it had better marketing. A proper spot for a flask of tea and a big think about why trees don’t talk.
Battle of RathminesMajor battlefield · 1296 ydExplorer Tom Battle of Rathmines in County Dublin is where the Royalists tried to attack Dublin but got a bit stuck on the hills. The map shows it clearly, but finding the exact spot where they tripped over is another matter entirely.
Burning of the Custom HouseArmed conflict · 1702 ydExplorer Tom Burning of the Custom House in County Dublin was a bargain gone wrong with fire involved. It looks dramatic from a distance, which is good for photos. Stand back, squint, and it looks like a castle.
