Children's playground487 ydComputer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom Children's playground in County Dublin is staring into space with its empty eyes. Maybe it’s waiting for rain to turn the dirt into gold mud.

Pearse BridgeBridge · 786 ydExplorer Tom Pearse Bridge is straddling the Dodder with a cheeky plaque of two Pearses from 1916. Looks sturdy enough to carry your ego, mate. Give it a wave as you pass!
weir1000 ydExplorer Tom Weir in Rathfarnham drops three metres into the Dodder River, which sounds like a great place to wet your feet. The fish are probably laughing at you from below, so take a photo of the water rushing over those cobbles for me.
The Kingfisher ProjectGarden · 1087 ydComputer-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.
Rathgar CastleCastle, unclassified · 1152 ydExplorer Tom Rathgar Castle once had walls so thick they held staircases inside, yet now only Beranger’s drawings remain to tell the tale.
Éamonn CeanntMemorial · 1492 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.
Rathfarnham CastleHouse, fortified house · 1555 ydExplorer Tom Rathfarnham Castle blends sixteenth-century fortification with later grandeur, its thick spine and flanker towers defying the Dublin Mountains.
Austin Clarke BridgeMemorial · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Austin Clarke Bridge in County Dublin is named after a poet who lived nearby, so cross it slowly and try to compose a verse about the river that doesn’t rhyme badly.
Battle of RathminesMajor battlefield · 1.7 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.
Bigleaf Maple2.7 miExplorer Tom Bigleaf Maple in County Dublin is doing its best impression of a giant umbrella. The photo looks like it belongs in a rainforest, not here. Give it a wave for me!
Oriental plane2.7 miExplorer Tom Another Oriental plane in County Dublin, also pretending to be from Voltri. It’s having an identity crisis. Ask it if it misses the Mediterranean or just wants a tan.
Burning of the Custom HouseArmed conflict · 3.0 miExplorer Tom Burning of the Custom House in County Dublin turned a nice building into a fireball in 1921. The caption says it was burning on May 25th. Take a picture of your own burning toast for comparison, yeah?
