Church in ruins, GraveyardGraveyard · 270 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Church in ruins, Graveyard. Le Fanu Park used to be this graveyard, now completely landscaped over. The foundations are gone, but I like thinking that every park bench sits right on top of a 19th-century headstone.

Church of Our Lady of the AssumptionChurch/chapel · 545 ydExplorer Tom Church of Our Lady of the Assumption in Ballyfermot is sick of being asked how much those mahogany seats cost. It was built in 1953 to seat nearly two thousand people because everyone wanted to be there. If you ask one more time about the budget, the priest might excommunicate you.
post box608 ydExplorer Tom Post box in County Dublin is wearing a Carron Scotland badge like it’s royalty, but it’s just a 1960s mailman’s buddy. It stood on Ballyfermot Road watching the chaos unfold. Give it a thumbs up for me if you spot it!
Markievicz PlaygroundChildren's playground · 718 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Markievicz Playground in County Dublin is keeping its cards close to the chest. Legend says the slide leads directly to the bottom of the sea. Don’t believe me? Go find out yourself!
Saint John's CollegeHouse · 773 ydExplorer Tom Saint John's College in County Dublin is a house with a Doric portico that looks like it’s posing for a photo. Built 1745, it was used by Orson Welles once. I bet the walls are still whispering about it.
Children's playground1245 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom This Children's playground in County Dublin is private, so it must be hiding something big. I bet there's a secret base under the sandbox. Bring your detective hat and some chalk for marking clues.
Church (in ruins)Graveyard · 1256 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Church. This graveyard has a stream running along its bottom edge, which feels like an unusual boundary for the dead. It was in use as early as 1547, so that water has been flowing past graves for ages.
Executions of the leaders of the 1916 risingMemorial · 1.7 miExplorer 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.
Horse-chestnut2.0 miExplorer Tom Horse-chestnut in County Dublin is waiting for a cow that tried to buy it with a milk ticket last Tuesday. The cow left without paying and the tree is still fuming about the audacity of the whole situation. It's the kind of place that makes a dull Tuesday interesting, trust me.
Castleknock CastleCastle · 2.2 miExplorer Tom Castleknock Castle in County Dublin is perched right on top of a big old mound, just showing off. It's next to a college, so maybe the students are living in ghost stories now?
Giant Sequoia3.5 miExplorer Tom Giant Sequoia in County Dublin is having an existential crisis because it has an imaginary twin across the sea it’s never met. It’s huge, loud, and completely out of place here, like a giant in a small room. Look for the ghost, then pretend you didn't see anything weird.
Griffeen Valley WalkWalking route · 3.6 miExplorer Tom Griffeen Valley Walk in County Dublin has a river that merges into Vesey Park, which sounds like a fancy garden party gone wrong. Grab a photo of the water for me!
