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 picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer 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!
Children's playground1245 ydComputer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer 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.
Graveyard in Unknown TownlandGraveyard · 1515 ydExplorer Tom Graveyard in Dublin is in Chapelizod, with medieval burials found under the current church site. The boundary wall is there, but the old graveyard extended further out, which is annoying for archaeologists. Look for the ghost, then pretend you didn't see a thing at all.
Knockmaree DolmenArchaeological place · 1704 ydExplorer Tom Knockmaree Dolmen in County Dublin is having a nap under its giant stone blanket. It’s been snoozing for ages, dreaming about ancient farmers. Wake it up gently if you dare!
Stone of RemembranceMonument · 1.5 miExplorer 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.
Toni'sPicnic place · 1.5 miExplorer 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.
Mote (site of)Castle, motte · 1.7 miExplorer Tom This possible motte castle belonged to the Royal Manor of Crumlin. Henry Compton had fierce opposition from tenants back in 1290. Find the date carved somewhere and feel clever, even if it is just a legend.
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.
Islandbridge LodgeVisitor information · 1.7 miExplorer Tom Islandbridge Lodge sounds fancy but it’s probably just a big old house with opinions. The garden might bite back if you’re not polite.
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.
