Explorer Tom Northbrook in Kimmage is a Georgian house from 1790 that’s now a cultural centre, which means it's probably judging your art choices. The doorway is fancy enough to make you feel underdressed, so wear something nice.

Explorer Tom Church in County Dublin has kept its old medieval tower while the rest got a 19th-century makeover. D'Alton called it neat, but I think 'annexed to an ancient tower' sounds fancier. It’s a prebend of St Patrick’s, so it’s definitely part of the big league.

Explorer 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.

Explorer Tom Rathgar Castle once had walls so thick they held staircases inside, yet now only Beranger’s drawings remain to tell the tale.

Explorer Tom Toni's in County Dublin is having a picnic with itself. It claims to be a spot for snacks, but I suspect the sandwiches are long gone and only crumbs remain.

Explorer Tom Rathfarnham Castle blends sixteenth-century fortification with later grandeur, its thick spine and flanker towers defying the Dublin Mountains.

Explorer 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.

Explorer 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.

Explorer 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.

Explorer 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.

Explorer 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!

Explorer Tom European Pear in County Dublin is hiding its fruit. The photo shows pears, but where are they? Probably in the pockets of some passing thief. Check under the leaves!
