Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown County CouncilChildren's playground · 577 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council playground in County Dublin is open but secretive. No notes, so maybe the sandpit contains pirate gold? Show me what you find!
Bright HorizonsChildren's playground · 779 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer 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?
Rathfarnham Religious Society of Friends' Meeting HouseMeeting house · 792 ydExplorer Tom Rathfarnham Religious Society of Friends' Meeting House in Rathfarnham is a Quaker meeting house from 1965 with concrete frames and large windows. It’s functional design at its best, connecting two sections with a glazed bay. See if the gable window lets in enough light!
Lourdes Nursing HomeConvent/nunnery · 910 ydExplorer Tom Lourdes Nursing Home has a wing that’s Gothic Revival and another that’s pre-cast concrete. It thinks tourists from Dublin are just local ghosts who forgot their glasses. End this one with your own twist on: 'Take a peek.'

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.

Old boundary stone1269 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Old boundary stone in County Dublin has 'W D No. 8' on it, which sounds like a very important piece of paper. I reckon it stands for Wandering Dork Number Eight. Say hello to that cheeky number!
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 Yew1.2 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.
Clonskeagh CastleCastle · 1.4 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.
Lebanon Cedar1.5 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.
Austin Clarke BridgeMemorial · 1.7 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.
Éamonn CeanntMemorial · 2.1 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.
