St Aengus's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 488 ydExplorer 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!

Saint Basil'sEngine shed · 721 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!
Mayor's Mile (Finsish)Visitor information · 994 ydExplorer 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 ydExplorer 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 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.
Fitwalk CircuitWalking route · 1058 ydExplorer 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!
Font in TallaghtFont · 1160 ydExplorer Tom Font in Tallaght. Known as St. Maelruan's Griddle and Loaf, this basin has uneven sides. I can almost smell the bread baking! If it baked a loaf, it must have been a very heavy, granite one.
Jim Lawlor Bridge PlaqueVisitor information · 1461 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.
Austin Clarke BridgeMemorial · 1.7 miExplorer Tom Austin Clarke Bridge in County Dublin is named after a poet who lived nearby, so cross it slowly and try to compose a verse about the river that doesn’t rhyme badly.
Belgard CastleCastle · 1.8 miExplorer Tom Belgard Castle in County Dublin is sitting there looking all mysterious and ancient. No one seems to know its secrets, so I'll just pretend I do while we walk past it.

St Columkilles WellHoly well · 2.0 miExplorer Tom St Columkilles Well in Oldcourt cures sore eyes and throats, which is handy if you’re sniffly. It has a granite basin with a spout, so it’s basically a fancy tap. Have a wander and a wonder.
CastleCastle, unclassified · 2.6 miExplorer Tom Castle in Clondalkin is Tully’s Castle, a narrow 16th-century tower with crenellations right on Monastery Road. It’s in state care, so it’s basically a celebrity that can’t leave the house. Ring your granny and tell her where you are before she worries about the round tower.
