Geocache Description:

Tallanstown is a village in County Louth, on the banks of the River Glyde, 11 km southwest of Dundalk. It was the winner of the 2010 Tidy Towns competition.

Tallanstown, on the banks of the River Glyde, is a picturesque village in the heart of Co.Louth. The manorial village is located seven miles S.W. of Dundalk and four miles north of Ardee, prominent in the legends of Cuchulainn. Its central location just off the N2 Dublin Derry Road leaves it just 17 miles from the historic Boyne Valley. The scenic Cooley peninsula, famous in its Celtic mythology, is only 12 miles distant. Situated as it is, its central location Tallanstown surely merits a visit from the inquisitive traveler (or geocacher)
