Templeogue Village
Templeogue lies between the surrounding suburbs of Terenure, Rathfarnham, Knocklyon, Kimmage, Walkinstown and Tallaght.
It is separated from Tallaght by the M50 motorway. A series of pedestrian bridges provide cyclists and pedestrians access to Tallaght.
It is well situated, being 4 miles (6 km) from the city centre and equally close to the Dublin Mountains, and to the coast at Dublin Bay on the Irish Sea. It is 180 feet (55 m) above sea level at 53° 18' north and 6° 18' west.
The River Dodder forms the southern border with Rathfarnham while the River Poddle (the river that forms the black pool at the Liffey confluence that gives Dublin it's name) forms the Northern Border.
Templeogue is unique in that the "Village" is not in the centre of the district, instead the Orwell Shopping Centre in front of the large recreational field, Orwell Green, is. One of the most prominent views is of Montpelier Hill to the southwest, topped by the ruin of the Hellfire Club at 1,250 feet (380 m).
