Children's playground138 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Another one! Children's playground in County Dublin. The swings are creaking like they're telling stories. Listen closely, don't get spooked.
New PlaygroundChildren's playground · 521 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom New Playground in County Dublin is confusing everyone with its generic name. It’s probably full of brand-new monsters that haven’t learned how to scare yet. Go introduce yourself to the new arrivals!
Oldbawn BridgeBridge · 560 ydExplorer Tom Oldbawn Bridge over the River Dodder has been widened in 1980 because apparently one arch wasn’t enough for all our traffic. The granite voussoirs are impressive, but let’s be honest, it’s just a rock with a hole in it. Stand on it and feel your superiority.
weir571 ydExplorer Tom Weir in Oldbawn is holding back the river like a bouncer at a club that’s closing early. It’s a reminder of old mills and lades, but mostly just there to annoy the fish. Bring your optimism because it’s not going anywhere soon.
Holy well in Tallaght,oldbawnHoly well · 831 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Holy well in Tallaght, Oldbawn was the Chapel Well that cured headaches and indigestion with its blessed trout. It got desecrated by a farmer named Ledwich who probably just wanted to use the water for his garden.
Sean Walsh ParkVisitor information · 1094 ydExplorer 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.
Jim Lawlor Bridge PlaqueVisitor information · 1204 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.
Gary Miller MemorialMemorial · 1480 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.
Castle (site of)Gatehouse · 1585 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Castle in Tallaght is a gatehouse that got too big for its tiny boots. It’s part of a priory now, so it’s basically a monk with a security clearance. Make a wish; it’s had centuries to practice being stoic.
Montpelier HillMountain / peak · 2.1 miExplorer Tom Montpelier Hill is famous for the Hell Fire Club at dawn. The sun comes up over it in a mysterious way, so watch the light change and pretend you’re about to make a dangerous pact with a devil.
Belgard CastleCastle, tower house · 2.2 miExplorer Tom Belgard Castle is a tower house hiding inside an 18th-century mansion, like a grandpa in a tuxedo. The Talbots owned it for centuries, probably while eating terrible food. Best seen with a hangover and a very suspicious sausage roll.
Dublin Mountains Way Hellfire & Massey SpurWalking route · 2.5 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom The Dublin Mountains Way Hellfire & Massey Spur again in County Dublin, it's becoming a bit of a theme. I bet the 'hellfire' is just the sun beating down on your head. Stay hydrated and ignore the overly dramatic trail markers.
