Children's playground79 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom Children's playground in County Dublin is keeping its cards close to its chest. Nothing saved means the seesaw might be levitating. Try balancing on it and capture the magic for me!
Yellow House Bar and RestaurantPublic house · 131 ydExplorer Tom Yellow House Bar and Restaurant is shouting for attention with its yellow bricks and red terracotta details. It’s a landmark because it looks like a Victorian cake. Grab a pint and admire the dentil cornice!

It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Bullaun stone in Rathfarnham is now a font at a church entrance. It used to be in a Mass House during penal times. It’s seen some drama, let me tell you. Touch it gently and move on!
Church of the AnnunciationChurch/chapel · 147 ydExplorer Tom Church of the Annunciation is a Gothic Revival beauty from 1875. It’s got snecked granite walls and pointed arches. It’s a focal point at the junction, so don’t be shy about admiring it from afar!
Rathfarnham CastleHeritage attraction · 153 ydExplorer Tom Rathfarnham Castle is standing tall in County Dublin. It’s a heritage attraction, so it’s got stories about kings or ghosts or both. The castle never leaves, but you can. Try not to get lost inside!
Graveslab in RathfarnhamGraveslab · 451 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Graveslab in Rathfarnham is broken into two pieces with some weird incised lines. It looks like a sunburst that got cut by accident. Stand where the owner stood and practise looking smug about the crack.

Rathgar CastleCastle, unclassified · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Rathgar Castle was involved in the Battle of Rathmines in 1649. Beranger drew it in ruin in 1769, looking quite dramatic. Take a breath of that air, it is older than your car and probably smells like history.
European Yew1.4 miExplorer Tom European Yew in County Dublin has been feuding with the rain since the last ice age or something equally dramatic. It looks grumpy, which is on brand for a yew that’s seen too much drama. Go on a wet day, it suits the gloomy mood perfectly.
Lebanon Cedar1.7 miExplorer Tom Lebanon Cedar in County Dublin smells like expensive soap and old money, according to Tom, who has never been there but knows everything. It’s trying too hard to be fancy for a tree that just wants to stand still. Ring your granny and tell her where you are before you get lost in the scent.
Éamonn CeanntMemorial · 1.8 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.
