About This Tour
In this guided walking tour, you will be guided by a local from Tallaght, learning about its ancient past (over a thousand years of history) and its transformation over the years. Throughout, you will be immersed in various rich stories from differing periods of Irish history - from Whitehall House - Katharine Tynan's former residence - a former hotspot for many from W.B. Yeats to George William Russell(AE) relating to the Irish Literary Revival, to visiting where the former Tallaght Aerodrome (its role in WW1, to the Irish War of Independence to the Irish Civil War) used to be, to the history of the former Urneys Chocolates, to visiting St. Maelruain's Church and the resting place of writer + poet Alice Furlong - to name but a few! Some literature (Irish and English) will be shared allowing for an immersive cultural experience. Our last stop will be in Tallaght Village, some basic Irish will be taught and you are very welcome to use some Irish in a special local café after the tour.
