Explorer 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.
Roscrea Railway StationSignal box · 669 ydExplorer Tom Roscrea Railway Station is haunted by a ghost who’s too lazy to actually haunt it. He just sits in the signal box pretending to watch trains that aren’t there. Take a photo if he waves, but don’t expect him to get up.
Dungar HouseGate lodge · 835 yd
European ash1060 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.
Explorer 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.
Explorer 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.
Roscrea Petty Sessions HouseHeritage attraction · 1533 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 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.
Golden Grove HillMountain / peak · 1.9 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.
Leap CastleStables · 4.4 miExplorer Tom Leap Castle stables are picking on the wind because it won’t stop whistling through the arches. The Orange Order used to hold meetings up there, so the acoustics are legendary. Bring a flask of something strong and stand in the draft.
