Children's playground66 ydComputer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom Children's playground in County Dublin is playing peekaboo with the local gulls. I swear I saw a pirate flag there yesterday, or was that a dream?
Saint Michan's ChurchBuilding misc · 86 ydExplorer Tom Saint Michan's Church has a vestry built in 1820 that’s now just offices and toilets. The church itself dates back to the 1680s. It’s seen a lot of history. Look at the limestone walls and tell me what you think.
Catholic Church of Saint Mary of the AngelsChurch/chapel · 92 ydExplorer Tom Saint Mary of the Angels was designed for Capuchins by J.J. McCarthy between 1868 and 1881. It replaced a smaller chapel and features sculptures by Leo Broe and mosaics by James Pearse, making it a Franciscan masterpiece in Dublin.
Bridewell Garda StationPrison/jail · 119 ydExplorer Tom Bridewell Garda Station was a prison for minor offences. Built in 1900, it’s now a police station. That’s like going from 'oops' to 'oh no' without even changing clothes.
The FriaryFriary · 129 ydExplorer Tom The Friary in County Dublin is wearing a suit now, but it still smells like old monks. The Capuchins built it in 1880, so take a peek at the sash windows for me.
office135 ydExplorer Tom Office in County Dublin is wearing a sandstone suit and pretending to be a courthouse. It used to brew Jamesons, so it probably smells like liquid confidence even now.
Metropolitan District Court HouseCourt house · 151 ydExplorer Tom Metropolitan District Court House in County Dublin looks like it’s judging you for walking by. Built in 1865 with granite that screams authority, it’s got those weird ventilation towers too. Don’t get caught loitering near the gates!
Old Jameson DistilleryMuseum · 176 ydExplorer Tom Old Jameson Distillery is probably still smelling of strong stuff. It’s a museum now, so the boozy history is locked away behind glass. Bring your own flask just in case!
London Plane504 ydExplorer Tom London Plane number three in County Dublin is just standing there looking annoyed. The photo shows a trunk that looks like a monster. Take a picture before it bites you!
IndicatedCathedral · 613 ydExplorer Tom Cathedral. Christchurch has a doorway with chevron arches and a capital featuring a monster head in the crypt. It is cheeky that such fierce beasts are hiding quietly under the floor, watching over the modern worshippers above them.

Croppies Acre MemorialMemorial · 821 ydExplorer Tom Croppies Acre Memorial in County Dublin has a great exterior view waiting for you. It’s a memorial, so keep it dignified, but also check out the surroundings. The whole place looks like it’s posing for a history book cover.
European Pear844 ydExplorer 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!
