The Shrine of Saint CharlesWayside shrine · 79 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom The Shrine of Saint Charles in County Dublin is playing hide-and-seek. No details! He’s probably up in the tree telling jokes to the sparrows, ignoring us completely.
Wayside shrine101 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom This Wayside shrine in County Dublin is probably just a rock that got promoted. But respect the rock, it has standards.
Children's playground159 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom This private Children's playground in County Dublin is hiding behind a fence like it owes money to the bank. No one knows what’s inside, which makes it extra suspicious. Don’t peek too hard, yeah?
WeirWeir, regulating · 216 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Weir is called 'The Tongue' because it literally splits the water like a fork in the road. It gave up meat for Lent to keep the flow polite and orderly. Go on a wet day, it suits the mood.
Éamonn CeanntMemorial · 518 ydExplorer 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.
The Kingfisher ProjectGarden · 554 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this garden.Explorer Tom The Kingfisher Project in County Dublin is for birds that wear suits. If you see one in a tie, buy it a drink. It’s probably a director.
Our Lady's HospiceChimney · 772 ydExplorer Tom Our Lady's Hospice chimney is a tall yellow brick cone that used to smoke for a laundry but now just stands there confused. Built in 1940, it has red brick detailing and moulded concrete bits that make it look like a fancy cake stand.
Sisters of Saint Clare's ConventChurch/chapel · 968 ydExplorer Tom Sisters of Saint Clare's Convent on Harold's Cross Road in County Dublin was built around 1810 and used to care for orphans before becoming deconsecrated. The chapel has a polygonal apse that looks like it’s hiding something. Say grace quietly outside and keep moving.
Rathgar CastleCastle, unclassified · 1463 ydExplorer Tom Rathgar Castle was involved in the Battle of Rathmines in 1649. Beranger drew it in ruin in 1769, looking quite dramatic. Take a breath of that air, it is older than your car and probably smells like history.

Ettie Gluck born SteinbergMemorial · 1551 ydExplorer Tom Ettie Gluck born Steinberg is hiding in a sidewalk stone, hoping nobody steps on her story. She went to school here before disappearing into the horror of Drancy and Auschwitz. It’s a tiny marker with a giant heartbreak.
Battle of RathminesMajor battlefield · 1.3 miExplorer 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.
European Pear1.6 miExplorer 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.
