IndicatedChurch · 409 ydExplorer Tom Church in County Dublin has kept its old medieval tower while the rest got a 19th-century makeover. D'Alton called it neat, but I think 'annexed to an ancient tower' sounds fancier. It’s a prebend of St Patrick’s, so it’s definitely part of the big league.
Children's playground579 ydComputer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom Children's playground in County Dublin looks like it was built by aliens who didn't quite get the memo on human size. The swings might launch you into orbit. Hold on tight when you ride!
Dublin City CouncilChildren's playground · 686 ydComputer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom Dublin City Council playground in County Dublin is permissive but silent. No record here, so maybe the council buried a time capsule under the sandbox? Take a pic!
Our Lady's Children's HospitalChurch/chapel · 804 ydExplorer Tom Our Lady's Children's Hospital chapel in County Dublin is all about calm and luminous light inside, which is great if you’re not a kid with a broken leg. It’s got stained glass windows that probably tell a story nobody wants to hear. Take a picture of that bell tower for me!
Éamonn CeanntMemorial · 1621 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.
Toni'sPicnic place · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Toni's in County Dublin is having a picnic with itself. It claims to be a spot for snacks, but I suspect the sandwiches are long gone and only crumbs remain.
JailPrison · 1.5 miExplorer Tom Jail in Dublin is Kilmainham Gaol, one of Europe's biggest unoccupied prisons. It saw heroic and tragic events from the 1780s to the 1920s. Go in and feel the weight of all those political prisoners.
Executions of the leaders of the 1916 risingMemorial · 1.5 miExplorer Tom Executions of the leaders of the 1916 rising is pointing at Kilmainham Gaol like it’s blaming the building for everything. Fourteen guys got the axe, but this spot just wants you to feel dramatic about the whole bloody affair.
Stone of RemembranceMonument · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Stone of Remembrance in County Dublin says their names live forever, which is a bold claim considering most of us forget our own names on Monday mornings, so maybe keep your head up if you hear whispers.
Rathgar CastleCastle, unclassified · 1.8 miExplorer Tom Rathgar Castle once had walls so thick they held staircases inside, yet now only Beranger’s drawings remain to tell the tale.
Magazine FortCastle · 2.0 miExplorer Tom Magazine Fort in County Dublin is named after storing stuff, probably gunpowder or something equally explosive. It's sitting there looking solid, so maybe don't bring matches just to be safe, yeah?
European Pear2.1 miExplorer Tom European Pear in County Dublin is hiding its fruit. The photo shows pears, but where are they? Probably in the pockets of some passing thief. Check under the leaves!
