post box560 ydExplorer Tom Post box at Walkinstown Green would buy a yacht and leave its cousin behind, which is the older box next door. Make your deposit quickly before it gets bored of suburban life. It’s mid-century chic, trust me.
Mercedes BenzFactory · 675 ydExplorer Tom Mercedes Benz on Naas Road is a red brick factory pretending to be fancy. The tower stands tall while the rest just vibes horizontally. Bring a map and your own sense of direction, because nobody trusts these roads.

Church of the Assumption of the Blessed MaryChurch/chapel · 676 ydExplorer Tom Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Mary is a red brick church from 1954. Flat roofs and all that! It’s a bit different from your usual spirey places. I bet the acoustics are fantastic for gossiping in the back row.
Mote (site of)Castle, motte · 1.0 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.
Toni'sPicnic place · 1.8 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.
Stone of RemembranceMonument · 1.9 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.
JailPrison · 2.0 miExplorer Tom Jail in Dublin is Kilmainham Gaol, one of Europe's biggest unoccupied prisons. It saw heroic and tragic events from the 1780s to the 1920s. Go in and feel the weight of all those political prisoners.
Executions of the leaders of the 1916 risingMemorial · 2.0 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.
Kilmainham Jail MuseumMuseum · 2.0 miExplorer Tom Kilmainham Jail Museum in County Dublin is basically the same place as the gaol, but with a brochure. It’s like going to the same party twice. Grab a souvenir for me.
Proclamation SculptureSculpture · 2.0 miExplorer Tom Proclamation Sculpture in County Dublin is shouting its message from long ago, hoping someone finally listens. Tell me if you understood a word, or just nodded politely!
Bully's AcreGraveyard · 2.1 miExplorer Tom Bully's Acre in County Dublin sounds like it’s got some serious attitude. I bet the ghosts there are still arguing about who’s the boss.
Magazine FortCastle · 2.2 miExplorer Tom Magazine Fort in County Dublin is named after storing stuff, probably gunpowder or something equally explosive. It's sitting there looking solid, so maybe don't bring matches just to be safe, yeah?
