Bullaun stone in BallycookBullaun stone · 9 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Bullaun stone in Ballycook is an earthfast stone with one single basin, sitting in a graveyard. It's got the quietest personality I've ever met in stone. Linger, it's not going anywhere and neither should you.
Graveslab in BallycookGraveslab · 17 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Graveslab in Ballycook has a poorly preserved cross with expanded arms, dated to the 13th or 14th century. It’s near the church and probably tired of being poked by tourists. Have a nosey, politely, like you mean it.
Church (in ruins), Cross, GraveyardEarthwork · 101 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Church, Cross, Graveyard in Ballycook has earthworks that are barely visible now, probably because they're too shy to be seen. Hum something sad nearby, it adds atmosphere and makes you feel like you found a secret.
Kineagh ChurchChurch/chapel · 496 ydExplorer Tom Kineagh Church wrote a poem about itself once and it was terrible. It’s a simple stone church from 1832 that just wants to be left alone but keeps getting mentioned in bad local history books. Go now, before it gets famous.
CastleCastle, unclassified · 1021 ydExplorer Tom Castle in Straboe is playing hide-and-seek with the Vikings who got lost looking for it. Aerial photos say it’s there, but it’s shy. Ring your granny and tell her where you are.
Phillipstown ManorCountry house · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Phillipstown Manor has a pedimented breakfront with round-headed windows that are just staring into the void since 1745. It’s got an open well staircase that screams 'climb me, I dare you' without any actual invitation. Stand where the owner stood and practise looking smug about your taste.
OutlinedCastle, unclassified · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Castle in Newtown (graney Ed) is a circle of dirt that lost its entrance somewhere. Its least favourite visitor is definitely the guy who keeps digging for treasure. Take a breath of that air, it's older than your car.
Church (in Ruins), GraveyardChurch · 1.8 miExplorer Tom Church, Graveyard in Killerrig has an east gable and some foundations, which is about as exciting as watching paint dry. It’s roughly north of centre, so if you’re lost, just go left. Stand still and listen, the wind tells it better than me.
Duckett's Grove Walled GardensGarden · 1.9 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Duckett's Grove Walled Gardens in County Carlow are keeping their secrets close. Rumor has it the ivy grows faster if you whisper your name to it. Take a picture for me if you pass!
Duckett's GroveHeritage attraction · 2.0 miExplorer Tom Duckett's Grove offers a peek at the past through its ruins, making me wonder what parties were held here long ago.
