Clonskeagh CastleCastle · 301 ydExplorer Tom Clonskeagh Castle in County Dublin used to be called Roebuck and belonged to a United Irishman ironfounder. History says it was still being fixed up back in 1789, so it has plenty of drama.
Clonskeagh BridgeBridge · 596 ydExplorer Tom Clonskeagh Bridge in County Dublin replaced an older one from 1655, but it looks like it had a bit of a facelift over time. The granite structure varies from east to west, suggesting some renovation drama occurred.
Beech Hill Office CampusMemorial · 676 ydExplorer Tom Beech Hill Office Campus in County Dublin is called a memorial but looks like offices, so maybe someone died of boredom there, take a picture for me to prove the point.
Children's playground691 ydComputer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom Children's playground in County Dublin claims access, but does that include the weird treehouse? I think it’s actually a witch’s pantry. Peek inside carefully!
Windy Arbour PlaygroundChildren's playground · 719 ydComputer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom Windy Arbour Playground in County Dublin has access, but 'Arbour' sounds like a fancy word for 'tree'. It's probably just a bench in a gusty spot. Take a picture for me if your hat flies away!
Hybrid poplar906 ydExplorer Tom Hybrid Poplar in County Dublin looks like it's trying to escape gravity. The photo name is in Russian, so who planted this? Probably a confused botanist on holiday.
Tree of HopeMemorial · 1107 ydExplorer Tom Tree of Hope in County Dublin sounds like it’s doing a lot of heavy emotional lifting for the neighbourhood. It’s a memorial, so it must be holding up all that positivity on its own. Give it a gentle pat if you see it.
Battle of RathminesMajor battlefield · 1542 ydExplorer 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.
Hybrid strawberry tree1595 ydExplorer Tom Hybrid Strawberry Tree number three in County Dublin is just collecting dust. The photo looks like a garden catalogue from the last century. Give it a quick wipe down.
Central Mental HospitalHospital/infirmary · 1612 ydExplorer Tom Central Mental Hospital in Churchtown Lower is doing the 'I'm fine' face while standing next to that big asylum. Built between 1847 and 51, it’s got a T-shaped plan that looks like a confused airplane. Give it a wink, don't knock!
Simmonscourt CastleCastle, tower house · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Simmonscourt Castle’s gate tower stands alone as a remnant of a complex replaced by a Victorian residence in the eighteenth century.
Saint Broc's WellSpring · 1.1 miExplorer 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!
