Children's playground657 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's playground in County Dublin feels like it’s keeping its secrets close. Maybe there’s a hidden map on one of the benches? Go find it before someone else does!
Graveslab in DundrumGraveslab · 869 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Graveslab in Dundrum. Fragments of this Early Christian slab are kept in St Nahi's church today. The incised Saltire cross is faint but distinct. I wonder if the carver intended it to look like a starburst or just a simple cross?
Central Mental HospitalHospital/infirmary · 915 ydExplorer Tom Central Mental Hospital is a massive asylum from 1847 in Churchtown Lower. It follows a cellular model with a Tudor Revival frontispiece that looks like it wants to tell you your secrets. Don’t knock too loudly!
Nature Trail 1400 OrchardVisitor information · 1151 ydExplorer Tom Nature Trail 1400 Orchard in County Dublin is showing off a photo from Choryňská Stráž. That's not exactly the Irish countryside, is it? Take a picture for me and show me what we really have here.
Roebuck CastleCastle, unclassified · 1366 ydExplorer Tom Robswalls Castle is hiding behind a Victorian residence on the coast road, like a shy actor refusing to take a bow. It has stepped battlements and a vaulted ground floor that probably smells like old secrets and regret. Leave nothing but footprints and a bad pun.

Bright HorizonsChildren's playground · 1.0 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Bright Horizons in County Dublin sounds like it’s promising too much again. Probably just a slide and a very ambitious name. Enjoy the bright future, yeah?
Oriental plane1.1 miExplorer Tom Oriental plane in County Dublin has a ghost that is far too lazy to haunt it properly. The light changes here are actually pretty decent, though. Stick around for the light changing, it's a show.
Clonskeagh CastleCastle · 1.3 miExplorer 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 · 1.4 miExplorer 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.
Hybrid strawberry tree1.6 miExplorer Tom Hybrid Strawberry Tree in County Dublin gave up sugar for Lent, which is ironic given it’s literally a strawberry tree. It’s being very serious about its fasting while looking like it wants to eat a biscuit. Go back in winter, it's a different animal when the berries are gone.
Merrion StrandBeach / strand · 2.0 miExplorer Tom Merrion Strand in County Dublin has 'Cockle Lake' in its description. Tell the lake it’s not really a lake, it’s just a very stubborn puddle that refuses to leave at low tide.
