Martello Tower45 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Martello Tower No. 16 is just a very round building that refuses to admit it's lonely on Sandymount. Go before the tourists find out it used to have guns, which they'll definitely miss in their photos.
Schematic map of Dublin Bay skylineVisitor information · 297 ydExplorer Tom Schematic map of Dublin Bay skyline is lying flat and pretending to be art. It's got Phoenix Park vibes in its picture caption. Point your phone at the sky for me!
Sandymount StrandBeach / strand · 417 ydExplorer Tom Sandymount Strand in County Dublin has a shallow bit called Cockle Lake that stays wet even when the tide goes out. It's basically a puddle with attitude, so don't expect to swim like an Olympic champion there.
A Gift from the United Mexican States to IrelandMemorial · 556 ydExplorer Tom A Gift from the United Mexican States to Ireland sounds like a weird diplomatic present. No details given, so just appreciate the international flair.
Children's playground762 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom Another ghost town of fun in County Dublin. This Children's playground has no name, no story, just potential for disaster. The swings probably sing when the wind blows. Get me a photo, mate.
Merrion StrandBeach / strand · 1017 ydExplorer Tom Merrion Strand in County Dublin has 'Cockle Lake' in its description. Tell the lake it’s not really a lake, it’s just a very stubborn puddle that refuses to leave at low tide.
Patrick PearseMemorial · 1137 ydExplorer Tom Patrick Pearse lived here and led the 1916 Rising. He’s not happy about people not knowing his name, I bet. The plaque says he was the leader. Bow slightly, or don’t, your call.
Armorial plaque in Unknown TownlandArmorial plaque · 1214 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Armorial plaque in Dublin shows the Fitzwilliam Coat of Arms on Merrion Castle's site. The family has been there since the 15th century, proving that some people just refuse to move house, no matter how long it takes.
Elmpark PlaygroundChildren's playground · 1327 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom Elmpark Playground in County Dublin is keeping its secrets close. No account recorded, so perhaps the trees are guarding a fairy ring? Take a picture if you spot them!
Simmonscourt CastleCastle, tower house · 1506 ydExplorer Tom Simmonscourt Castle had a gate tower that survived when the rest went to make way for a Victorian residence. Beranger drew it in 1766 looking very proper. Go at sunset and thank me later for the atmosphere.
Saint Broc's WellSpring · 1517 ydExplorer Tom Saint Broc's Well in County Dublin claims a saint named Broc lives there now. The plaque says he named the townland, but I think he just liked the vibe. Ask him for a discount on your next pint!
Hybrid strawberry tree1719 ydExplorer Tom Hybrid Strawberry Tree in County Dublin gave up sugar for Lent, which is ironic given it’s literally a strawberry tree. It’s being very serious about its fasting while looking like it wants to eat a biscuit. Go back in winter, it's a different animal when the berries are gone.
