Cullenwood HouseHouse, 16th/17th century · 75 ydExplorer Tom Cullenwood House in County Dublin belonged to Mr. Thomas Ward until a fire totally destroyed his house and offices back in 1642. He probably wasn't too happy about that, given the amount of smoke involved.
Hybrid poplar425 ydExplorer Tom Hybrid Poplar in County Dublin has a dog in charge of it who barks at anyone who doesn’t tip. The poplar just stands there looking confused while the dog runs the show like a tiny overlord. Look serious, nod slowly, you're basically an expert now if you say so.
Battle of RathminesMajor battlefield · 478 ydExplorer Tom Battle of Rathmines in County Dublin is where the Royalists tried to attack Dublin but got a bit stuck on the hills. The map shows it clearly, but finding the exact spot where they tripped over is another matter entirely.
Ernest ShackletonMemorial · 547 ydExplorer Tom Ernest Shackleton is shivering next to the memorial, complaining about the lack of expedition gear. He thinks we’re all tough explorers, but really we just need a hot chocolate and a map that doesn’t smell like fish.
Ranelagh Gardens PlaygroundChildren's playground · 582 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Ranelagh Gardens Playground in County Dublin is probably just a fancy way of saying ‘mud puddle’. The slides might be covered in invisible glitter from fairies. Shake it off and take a picture!
Eoin MacNeillMemorial · 632 ydExplorer Tom Eoin MacNeill is lurking at number 63 Upper Leeson St, looking like he forgot his keys. He lived there in the forties, but now he’s just a name on a wall dreaming about better times and less traffic.
Township of Rathmines 1847Old boundary stone · 647 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Township of Rathmines 1847 in County Dublin is another boundary stone from 1847. Still standing? Impressive! It’s probably napping, dreaming of old Dublin days.
The GroveWood · 678 ydExplorer Tom The Grove in County Dublin sounds like a place for fancy tea parties. The wood itself is just standing there waiting for the cucumber sandwiches to arrive.
David Luke 1993Monument · 730 ydExplorer Tom David Luke 1993 in County Dublin has his name on a plaque and a Spotify playlist. It’s like he’s trying to be two things at once, which is confusing.
Children's playground770 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's playground in County Dublin is surrounded by trees that drop leaves even in winter. They’re not normal leaves, they’re tiny maps to buried treasure. Catch one and unfold it gently.
death of Brian MurphyDeath · 796 ydExplorer Tom Death of Brian Murphy in County Dublin is linked to the Burlington Hotel, which looks very calm now. It’s a quiet death marker. Pose like you’re checking out of a hotel while holding an invisible briefcase.
lock1138 ydExplorer Tom Lock in County Dublin is on the Grand Canal and looks like it's frozen solid. Built around 1790 with timber gates and limestone chambers. Try not to slip on the ice if you go near the water.
