Children's playground103 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's playground in County Dublin is silent. I bet the seesaw only moves at midnight. Go find out if it's true and send proof!
Sensory GardenGarden · 289 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Sensory Garden in County Dublin claims to tickle your senses, but I suspect it’s mostly just wind. Touch a leaf for me and tell me if it bites!
TombTomb, unclassified (present location) · 378 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Tomb in Tallaght is one of many stones that were used as paving slabs because the church was short on floor tiles. Colonel John Talbot’s grave was at the foot of the communion table, which is either respectful or very inconvenient for kneeling. Bring someone who’ll believe anything you say about it.
Not indicatedHistoric town · 379 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Historic town in Tallaght was listed among lands confirmed to Archbishop Laurence O'Toole in 1179. It would cope badly on a reality show, so have a look and decide if I was lying.

Saint Maelruain's Church (Tallaght)Church/chapel · 422 ydExplorer Tom Saint Maelruain's Church in Tallaght keeps its medieval tower like a secret. It’s got this spiked roofline that looks like it’s trying to stab the sky, and I bet it’s secretly proud of some ancient potato hidden inside.
presbytery/parochial/curate's house430 ydExplorer Tom The Presbytery in Tallaght is a pair of semi-detached houses from 1825 with an unusual attic dormer. It’s roughcast and symmetrical, sitting right by the church. Check if the door is ajar and listen for prayers.
tallaght crossVisitor information · 486 ydExplorer Tom Tallaght cross in County Dublin is right by a hotel. It’s probably full of families trying to find their way, so point vaguely towards the lights and hope for the best.
CastleCastle, unclassified · 608 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 · 744 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.
SpringfieldNamed rock · 793 ydExplorer Tom Springfield in County Dublin is recorded as a named rock, which is weird because there’s also a hotel nearby. Maybe the rock got jealous of the accommodation? Take a selfie next to it if you find the actual stone.
Gary Miller MemorialMemorial · 1535 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.
Belgard CastleCastle, tower house · 1.4 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.
