Grave YardGraveyard · 18 ydExplorer Tom Graveyard in Ballinacarrig is sitting on a slope with its arms crossed. It ended up in the wrong place, or maybe the map is lying. Perfect detour when the satnav has a meltdown.
Ring-ditch in BallinacarrigRing-ditch · 159 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Ring-ditch in Ballinacarrig is basically a shadow that refuses to leave the grass alone. It’s playing hard to get, hiding under the wheat like it’s shy or something. Tell the next person you meet it’s haunted; they’ll probably believe it.
culm crusher576 ydExplorer Tom The Culm crusher in Chapelstown is just a granite rock with an iron handle, but it thinks it’s royalty from 1855. Tell me if the gossip I made up is true. It definitely crushed more than just coal.
Staplestown TurretsCountry house · 961 ydExplorer Tom Staplestown Turrets are ruins designed by a Sir, which means they’re expensive rubble now. Go now, before it gets famous and you can't afford the parking.
Children's playground1499 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's playground in County Carlow is playing hide-and-seek with me. The monkey bars are rumored to hum a tune if you climb them with confidence and absolutely no fear of failure.
New Oak Estate Memorial GardenGarden · 1.4 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom New Oak Estate Memorial Garden in County Carlow is playing hide-and-seek with me. A plaque claims an oak tree here dropped leaves that turned into butterflies for three days straight.
Rathnapish/Askea Slí na SláinteWalking route · 1.6 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Rathnapish/Askea Slí na Sláinte is a walking route in County Carlow, connecting two areas with scenic views.
Battle of CarlowBattle · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Battle of Carlow is where the history books got their first concussion. I bet some fairy was fighting over parking rights back then. Have a look and decide if I was lying.
White willow1.9 miExplorer Tom White willow in County Carlow claims to be older than the concept of time itself, which is a bold claim for a shrub. I believe it because I'm tired. Find the date carved somewhere and feel clever, even if you just guessed.
CastleCastle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 1.9 miExplorer Tom Castle in Carlow is a limestone keep with circular towers, basically a stone donut with opinions. It’s seen better centuries, but still rocks the crenellations. Have a chat with it, nobody’s watching anyway.
Pedunculate Oak2.1 miExplorer Tom This Pedunculate Oak in County Carlow gave up coffee for Lent because it was getting too jittery. It's now just vibrating with ancient energy. It's free, it's odd, what more do you want from a tree?
Clogrenan Castle (ruins)Ruins · 2.9 miExplorer Tom Clogrenan Castle has caught my eye in County Laois. I bet a ruins with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
