Explorer Tom Martry Mill bragged about surviving a storm that supposedly flattened half of County Meath, though I suspect it just got lucky. The waterwheel still spins for the tourists who don’t check the dates. If it rains, blame my imagination!

Tuliptree2.3 mi

Explorer Tom Tuliptree in County Meath made a New Year's resolution to stop looking so fancy. It failed spectacularly, of course, because it's just that pretty. Give it a pat on the way past, it's had a long life.

Explorer Tom Saint Laurence's Catholic Church in Rathmore has a bad poem about it stuck in its head that rhymes 'pinnacles' with 'crackles', and it hates it. The stone crosses are trying very hard to look solemn while the stained glass windows show off their colours. Bring a camera and your dignity, because one of them is going to leave first.

Explorer Tom The Round Tower in Town Parks nearly got sold for a horse back in the day. A king was murdered inside it, so the vibes are a bit intense. A proper spot for a flask of tea and a big think.

Explorer Tom Barrow in Bellewstown in Meath is a tiny seven-metre circle on a ridge, barely taller than a toddler. A local hero once saved it from being used as a goat toilet. If it's closed, admire it from the road like a polite stalker.
