Holy well in Tallaght,tymon NorthHoly well · 153 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Holy well in Tallaght, Tymon North is the Fairy Well, located near a hill called Fairy Bank south of the castle. It was covered up because people kept breaking fences to get to it, which is very rude behavior for locals.

Children's playground195 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Children's playground in County Dublin is acting shy with zero records. Maybe the sandpit is full of dinosaur eggs. Don’t crack them open unless you want a tiny raptor for a pet!

St Aengus's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 488 yd

Explorer Tom St Aengus's Catholic Church in Tallaght is a plain 1970s build with a single-pitched roof, typical of the Archdiocese’s rapid expansion era back then. No frills needed here, just solid structure. Give it a nod!

Balrothery Play AreaChildren's playground · 680 ydComputer-made picture

Saint Basil'sEngine shed · 721 yd

Explorer 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!

Bancrofts CastleCastle, tower house · 751 yd

Explorer 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.

Brewery in TallaghtBrewery · 763 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer 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.

CastleCastle, unclassified · 949 yd

Explorer 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.

Mayor's Mile (Finsish)Visitor information · 994 yd

Explorer Tom Mayor’s Mile (Finsish) is where the fun ends and the reality sets in. You’ve walked far enough, now go buy a pint and feel accomplished.

Tymon Park Yellow SlíWalking route · 1011 yd

Explorer Tom Tymon Park Yellow Slí in County Dublin is hiding in plain sight. I suspect the yellow paint has faded into the grass. Check the address and send me a quick selfie!

Gary Miller MemorialMemorial · 1026 yd

Explorer 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.

Fitwalk CircuitWalking route · 1058 yd

Explorer Tom Another Fitwalk Circuit? Dublin really loves its repetitive cardio. The YouTube caption says Bachelor's Walk, but let's keep the bachelorhood to a minimum. Snap a sweaty selfie!
