Explorer Tom Commemorative Tower to the Hobblers in County Dublin is standing tall and proud. Who are these hobblers? Probably some tiny giants from another dimension. Take a picture if you spot any suspiciously small locals lurking around.
Dun Laoghaire West LighthouseLighthouse · 771 ydExplorer Tom Dun Laoghaire West Lighthouse in County Dublin is its twin sibling, just pointing the other way to be different. They probably argue about which side is better. Take a picture of both.
Dlr TourismVisitor information · 832 ydExplorer Tom DLR Tourism is promising day trips from Dublin, but I've done them all and mostly just got tired and hungry. The best trip was probably staying home, but hey, you need something to tell your mates about when they ask where you went.
King George IV MonumentMonument · 958 ydExplorer Tom King George IV Monument in County Dublin is showing off his royal chin. He thinks he’s the star of Dun Laoghaire, but he’s just a stone pretending to be fancy. Wave at him if you see him!
Dun Laoghaire East LighthouseLighthouse · 985 ydExplorer Tom Dun Laoghaire East Lighthouse in County Dublin stands right on the breakwater, looking very serious about the tides. It’s seen worse weather than you’ve had breakfast. Flash a light!
National Maritime Museum of IrelandMuseum · 1127 ydExplorer Tom National Maritime Museum of Ireland in County Dublin is obsessed with sailors and ships. The photo shows a church, so maybe they worship the ocean too? Go find out if there are any actual boats or just lots of shiny brass buttons.
Crimean War cannonMonument · 1150 ydExplorer Tom Crimean War cannon in County Dublin is stuck in time, still waiting for the Russians to show up with a refund. Take a pic of that rusty old thing!
SeapointBeach / strand · 1397 ydExplorer Tom Seapoint in County Dublin has rocks and buoys that stop motorboats from getting too close to you. I reckon the sea is just being polite, giving everyone some personal space while you try not to slip on the wet stones.
Graveyard in Monkstown HousefarmGraveyard · 1442 ydExplorer Tom Graveyard in Monkstown Housefarm is a trapezoidal walled site with a pointed arched gateway. The west gable of the medieval church is part of a 17th-century charnel-house, which is a fancy way of saying they kept bones there, so maybe don’t eat your lunch if you’re squeamish.
People's ParkPark · 1475 ydExplorer Tom People's Park in County Dublin feels like everyone’s having a secret meeting about sandwiches. The benches look comfy but suspiciously empty. Peek around the corner to see who’s sneaking off with biscuits.

Bawn in Monkstown CastlefarmBawn · 1546 ydExplorer Tom Monkstown Bawn is an L-shaped wall that used to protect monks from people who wanted their grain. Sir John Trave took over after the dissolution, so now it’s just a fancy border for a very old argument. Visit, then text me what you think. I'll pretend to read it and nod sagely.
Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 1553 ydExplorer Tom Monkstown Castle is a three-storey tower that sticks out past its bawn like an elbow in a handshake. It’s got battlements and a spiral stair that probably breaks your knees. Bring biscuits, every good story needs biscuits and someone to complain about the damp.
