Our Lady of FatimaWayside shrine · 139 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Our Lady of Fatima in County Dublin is playing hard to get. No details? Classic! She’s probably up in the tree telling stories to the squirrels.
Children's playground148 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's playground in County Dublin claims to be accessible, but does that mean the swings aren’t rusty? Grab a photo of any suspiciously old gum on the floor.
Saint James's HospitalWorkhouse · 212 ydExplorer Tom Saint James’s Hospital was a workhouse where the cow tried to buy the place but got rejected for lack of credit. It’s been a foundling hospital and a dormitory, so it’s seen things. Toast it with a pint if you feel generous enough.
Watercourse in Unknown TownlandWatercourse · 260 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom This Watercourse in Dublin supplied the city, according to a 1655 map. It feeds into the Grand Canal Harbour. Bring your own legend, because I’ve run out of good ones for this wet little branch.
Saint James's Hospital, Department of Clinical NutritionHouse · 266 ydExplorer Tom This nutrition department at Saint James's Hospital probably smells like boiled cabbage and regret. It started as a foundling hospital, so imagine the drama in this place back in the day. Bring a stomach lining because the history here is heavy, heavier than whatever they serve you for lunch today.
Flanagan's Fields Community GardenGarden · 287 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Flanagan's Fields Community Garden in County Dublin is probably where Flanagan grows his reputation.

IndicatedWatercourse · 349 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Watercourse in Dublin was called 'The Water that Supplieth Dublin' on old maps. It used to supply Deane Street back in the medieval days. It’s a millrace now, so keep an eye out for the flow.
Rialto BridgeBridge · 368 ydExplorer Tom Rialto Bridge over the Grand Canal is doing its best to look like Venice, but we’re in Dublin, mate. It’s now a tram bridge, so it’s basically a fancy bus stop on legs. Watch out for the trams, they don’t wait for anyone!
European Pear1004 ydExplorer Tom European Pear in County Dublin is filing a formal complaint with the council about how many people ignore it. It’s got all the fruit and none of the attention it deserves, frankly. Have a wander and a wonder at this neglected beauty.

Ephraim SaksMemorial · 1043 ydExplorer Tom Ephraim Saks is stuck in a cobblestone square, waiting for someone to acknowledge his tragic trip to Auschwitz. Born here in 1915, gone by 1942. It’s a small stone with a very big, heavy story tucked inside it.
Silver maple1583 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.
