New PlaygroundChildren's playground · 64 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer 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!
weir145 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.
Oldbawn BridgeBridge · 146 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.
Children's playground401 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom Children's playground in County Dublin has a goalpost that scores goals even when no one is kicking the ball. I saw it happen twice. It’s definitely magical. Just go with the flow of things.
Jim Lawlor Bridge PlaqueVisitor information · 768 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.
Holy well in Tallaght,oldbawnHoly well · 799 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this holy well.Explorer 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.
Gary Miller MemorialMemorial · 1099 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 · 1493 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer 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 · 2.3 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.
Austin Clarke BridgeMemorial · 2.4 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.
Massey WoodWood · 2.7 miExplorer Tom Massey Wood in County Dublin has ruins of a garden and saw mill. Lord Massey built it, then it broke. Classic. The Dublin Mountains Way goes through here, so follow the path!
