Kilmainham BridgeBridge · 59 ydExplorer Tom Kilmainham Bridge on South Circular Road has been carrying traffic over the Camac River since around 1770. It’s made of limestone with a round arch that looks like it’s smiling. The bridge is named after Kilmainham, but I think it just likes to be part of the circular road loop.
Saint James’sHouse · 82 ydExplorer Tom Saint James’s on South Circular Road is a mid-nineteenth-century villa style house with a fine doorcase and timber sash windows. It retains much of its historic fabric intact. The hero nobody remembers who saved it probably just kept showing up to the parties and buying drinks.
Kilmainham MillMill (water) · 150 ydExplorer Tom Kilmainham Mill is an old flour mill by the Camac River that’s now disused but still standing strong. It’s got a half-hipped roof and some machinery remains, which is pretty cool if you like your history industrial-style.
Inchicore LibraryLibrary/archive · 159 ydExplorer Tom Inchicore Library is an Art Deco gem from 1937 that looks better than most modern museums. The seagulls probably argue about who gets to poof on the roof. Take a book if you dare, just don’t get it wet in this weather.
Kilmainham CourthouseCourt house · 167 ydExplorer Tom Kilmainham Courthouse in County Dublin replaced an older building and has seen plenty of legal drama next to the gaol. It’s got that formal, imposing look with a central pedimented gable that says 'mind your manners'. Bring your sense of justice and maybe a little luck!
Kilmainham Jail MuseumMuseum · 210 ydExplorer Tom Kilmainham Jail Museum in County Dublin is basically the same place as the gaol, but with a brochure. It’s like going to the same party twice. Grab a souvenir for me.
JailPrison · 211 ydExplorer 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.
Bullys AcreEcclesiastical site · 258 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Buly's Acre. This graveyard was closed after a cholera epidemic and used by paupers until the 19th century. It’s a quiet, solemn place with a heavy history. The high cross shaft stands as a silent witness to it all.
Executions of the leaders of the 1916 risingMemorial · 262 ydExplorer 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.
Royal Hospital KilmainhamHeritage attraction · 508 ydExplorer Tom Royal Hospital Kilmainham in County Dublin is heritage. Soldiers used to live there. Take a photo of the red brick facade for me.
Silver maple1348 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.
Horse-chestnut1496 ydExplorer Tom Horse-chestnut in County Dublin is waiting for a cow that tried to buy it with a milk ticket last Tuesday. The cow left without paying and the tree is still fuming about the audacity of the whole situation. It's the kind of place that makes a dull Tuesday interesting, trust me.
