Homelawns PlaygroundChildren's playground · 152 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Homelawns Playground in County Dublin is keeping its secrets close. Nothing on file here, so maybe the lawns are actually sleeping giants? Take a pic if they stir!
Gary Miller MemorialMemorial · 182 ydExplorer Tom Gary Miller Memorial in County Dublin is a tribute to someone named Gary. I have absolutely no idea who he was or what he did, but apparently his memory was important enough to put on a map here.
Children's playground499 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's playground in County Dublin is private, so the slide belongs to a hermit. He only lets down children under five. Ask politely before you go down!
Jim Lawlor Bridge PlaqueVisitor information · 533 ydExplorer Tom Jim Lawlor Bridge Plaque honors a guy who gave his all to Tallaght. It’s a nice thought, but the bridge just keeps holding traffic up.
Bancrofts CastleCastle, tower house · 675 ydExplorer Tom Bancrofts Castle in Tallaght was demolished in 1952, but the base stuck around until 1905 before vanishing completely. It had a vaulted ground floor that probably smelled like damp socks. Bring a camera and your most suspicious face.

Saint Basil'sEngine shed · 771 ydExplorer Tom Saint Basil's in Tallaght was originally an engine shed, built in 1940 with big Art Deco chimney stacks. It’s now a training centre but still looks like it could house a steam locomotive. Check out those bold bricks!
Brewery in TallaghtBrewery · 833 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Brewery in Tallaght was once part of a castle and used for hops, now it's a granary. Handcock says so. I bet the beer was terrible. Can you smell the ancient hops from here? Probably not.
Bullaun stone in TallaghtBullaun stone · 833 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Bullaun stone in Tallaght was found while clearing a castle ditch, which is like finding a lost sock in a new pair of shoes. The local sheep probably think it’s a very expensive rock they should be chewing on. Stand back, squint, and it looks like a castle.

Saint Mary's PrioryChurch/chapel · 876 ydExplorer Tom Saint Mary's Priory in Tallaght has a Moorish vibe, which is wild for Dublin. It looks like a palace that got confused about its heritage and decided to be fancy anyway. Stop the press: architecture just went exotic!
CastleCastle, unclassified · 921 ydExplorer Tom Tallaght Castle was likely just a gate tower for something much bigger that’s now gone. Monk Mason drew it back in 1818, so it definitely existed then. Wave at the cows, they're the real locals anyway.
Sean Walsh ParkVisitor information · 1.0 miExplorer Tom Sean Walsh Park is just minding its own business on a walking map. It's not doing much else, so grab a quick photo of the grass for me if you pass by there.
Fitwalk CircuitWalking route · 1.0 miExplorer Tom Fitwalk Circuit in County Dublin is basically a fancy way of saying 'do laps until your legs quit.' I bet you can't finish it without complaining. Show me that map!
