Agha Church (in ruins)Ruins · 8 ydExplorer Tom Agha Church is a crumbling ruin where most of the masonry has vanished, leaving only fragments to mark its place.
Cross in AghaCross · 20 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Cross in Agha is a large thin granite flag with a rectangular socket, so it used to hold something tall and impressive. Now it’s just the base, standing there like a stump after a big tree fell. Snap one photo, then put the phone away and actually look.
Rock art in RathedanRock art · 951 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom On the Rathedan hilltop, cup marks arc around a central terrace on exposed bedrock. The view out over Castlecomer must have been spectacular back then.
Rathwade HouseHouse · 1360 ydExplorer Tom Rathwade House is pretending to be Tudor when it's just being dramatic, with turrets and gables screaming for attention since 1835. Have a sandwich here and call it a heritage lunch, the tower won't tell anyone.
Common Lime1721 ydExplorer Tom Another Common Lime tree, but this one is definitely trying to impress its neighbours with its leafy hair. A goat once ruled this place and declared it the capital of napping. Toast it with a cup of tea and move on to the next adventure quickly.
Sweet Chestnut1.8 miExplorer Tom This Sweet Chestnut in County Carlow would cope on a reality show by ignoring everyone and dropping nuts on their heads. It's the ultimate passive-aggressive housemate. Sit on a wall near it and pretend you're in a painting, you'll look deep.
Rathellen Slí na SláinteWalking route · 1.9 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Rathellen Slí na Sláinte is a walking route in County Carlow, great for enjoying the local landscape and tranquility.
Ballymoon Castle (in ruins)Castle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 2.4 miExplorer Tom Ballymoon Castle in County Carlow is doing a bit of a disappearing act for you. Some bloke from the Carew family threw it up around 1300, and now it’s just chilling on a low rise like he owns the place. Give that square courtyard a proper wave!
Black Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 2.5 miExplorer Tom Black Castle was built to defend the bridge in 1320, so it’s seen some proper traffic over the years. I bet it smells like old stone and regret. Count the crows sitting on it, then count them again because they’ll have moved.
Church, GraveyardChurch · 2.6 miExplorer Tom Church, Graveyard in Ballyknockan used to be a thing, now it’s mostly a suggestion of a thing. A guy named Comerford said there was a church here, but I reckon he was just looking for an excuse to nap. Ring your granny and tell her where you are.
The Columban WayVisitor information · 2.7 miExplorer Tom The Columban Way in Bagenalstown, County Carlow, marks a key point on this historic route through the Irish countryside.
Children's playground2.9 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom This Children's playground in County Carlow probably hosts the county’s most enthusiastic group of little explorers today.
