Luttrell HouseHouse · 35 ydExplorer Tom Luttrell House in Roscrea does weird things when nobody's looking, probably rearranging its render quoins just to mess with the neighbors on Castle Street. The carriage arch is its secret escape route for dramatic exits. Watch it wink at you from the window.
Damer HouseHouse · 45 ydExplorer Tom Damer House would describe itself to a stranger as 'a sophisticated eighteenth-century experience with excellent masonry and zero chill,' which is exactly how it looks from across the courtyard. It was built for the Damer family but they barely lived there, so it’s been waiting centuries for someone to appreciate its fine doorcase properly. If you hear any old footsteps echoing in the garden, don’
CastleCastle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 75 ydExplorer Tom This Castle in Townparks wants 'King of Naps' on its tombstone, honestly. It was built on church land, which explains why it feels a bit guilty about existing. Grand place for a sulk or a snog, your call.
Round Tower153 ydExplorer Tom This round tower claims to be older than time itself, which is total nonsense but fun. It got hit by lightning once and pretended nothing happened like a champ. Ring your granny and tell her exactly where you are standing now.
Roscrea Petty Sessions HouseHeritage attraction · 185 ydExplorer Tom Roscrea Petty Sessions House would get 'I heard everything' on its tombstone, because that’s all it ever did for years. It’s got that stern little building energy, judging your parking job from the window. Go in good boots and better humour to survive the stare.
European ash656 ydExplorer Tom This European ash in County Tipperary has some serious opinions on modern buildings, probably thinking they are all just flimsy cardboard boxes compared to its sturdy, ancient dignity. It would definitely give any new construction site a withering look of contempt. Find the date carved somewhere and feel clever.
Millennium GardenMemorial · 1677 ydExplorer Tom Millennium Garden Memorial in County Tipperary is haunted by a ghost who is far too lazy to actually haunt anyone properly. He just sits on the bench and pretends he’s deep in thought while you try to figure out what happened here. Pretend it's yours and plan the housewarming.
European Yew1.5 miExplorer Tom European Yew in County Tipperary took about forty cups of tea to build its current level of smugness, and it shows every single time you look at it. It has the perfect amount of attitude to make you feel small without trying too hard. Bring biscuits, every good story needs biscuits.
CrossCross, High cross · 2.1 miExplorer Tom Cross in Monaincha started because two lads made a bet in the pub about who could carve better horses. One of them probably still owes the other a pint for losing. Look for the ghost, then pretend you didn't.
