Church of the Assumption of the Blessed MaryChurch/chapel · 411 ydExplorer Tom Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Mary is a red brick church from 1954. Flat roofs and all that! It’s a bit different from your usual spirey places. I bet the acoustics are fantastic for gossiping in the back row.
Éamonn CeanntMemorial · 1.5 miExplorer 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.
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.
Stone of RemembranceMonument · 1.5 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.
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.
Kilmainham Jail MuseumMuseum · 1.5 miExplorer 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.
Magazine FortCastle · 1.8 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?
Pearse LyonsHeritage attraction · 2.1 miExplorer Tom Pearse Lyons is a whiskey distillery inside an old church. That’s a great mix of religion and booze for you to explore. The heritage part is definitely getting drunk. Cheers to that!
Horse-chestnut2.2 miExplorer Tom Horse-chestnut in County Dublin is all about the nuts. The photo shows some in Germany, so this one might be an impostor. Check for chestnuts before you touch it!
Silver maple2.2 miExplorer Tom Silver maple in County Dublin is using a Grimes Farm photo. It’s showing off its American cousin. Tell it that maple syrup doesn’t taste as good when it’s pretending to be Irish.
Rathfarnham CastleHouse, fortified house · 2.6 miExplorer Tom Rathfarnham Castle blends sixteenth-century fortification with later grandeur, its thick spine and flanker towers defying the Dublin Mountains.
