Ballyellin Church (in ruins)Church · 6 ydExplorer Tom Ballyellin Church sits in a rectangular graveyard with some foundation bits remaining, basically holding space for history while everything else got swept away. Get a photo with it before it gets a better agent.
Graveyard9 ydExplorer Tom Graveyard in Ballyellin and Tomdarragh is rectangular and has a church south of centre, which feels like it's just waiting for someone to organise a proper meeting. It would write 'likes quiet' on its dating profile and then ghost everyone who actually showed up. Linger, it is not going anywhere and neither should you.
Font in Ballyellin and TomdarraghFont · 9 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Font in Ballyellin And Tomdarragh was noted back in 1945, so it’s been hanging around longer than your grandkids. It’s in a church, but the details are vague, so just assume it’s important and move on. Tell the next person you meet it's haunted. It might be.
Graveslab in Ballyellin and TomdarraghGraveslab · 9 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Graveslab in Ballyellin And Tomdarragh dates back to 1625 and was inside the church, so it has seen a lot of stuff come and go. Saint Patrick would probably have said something wise about it, but he's dead now so who knows for sure. Best enjoyed with a bag of chips and no plans whatsoever.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballyellin and TomdarraghFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 92 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballyellin And Tomdarragh has a flat platform that looks like it’s waiting for a picnic blanket. The matchmaker who worked there once paired up two very confused cows. Have a chat with it, nobody's watching and the ghosts are probably napping.
Field system in Ballyellin and TomdarraghField system · 105 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Field system in Ballyellin And Tomdarragh is like a grid drawn by a drunk architect. Very linear, very bored. Go on a wet day, it suits the gloomy mood perfectly.
store/warehouse647 ydExplorer Tom Store or warehouse has caught my eye in County Kilkenny. I bet a store/warehouse 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.
Children's playground1243 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's playground has caught my eye in County Kilkenny. I bet a children's playground 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.
CastleCastle, tower house · 2.6 miExplorer Tom Castle has caught my eye in Paulstown, County Kilkenny. I bet a castle, tower house 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.
Skeoghvosteen Community Loop (long)Walking route · 3.4 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Skeoghvosteen Community Loop has caught my eye in County Kilkenny. I bet a walking route 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.
Neigham CastleCastle, tower house · 3.6 miExplorer Tom Neigham Castle in Neigham claims to be older than the concept of time itself. Sir James Butler built it right before he dropped dead, which is weird. Toast it with tea and move on, love.
Paulstown Services playgroundChildren's playground · 4.0 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Paulstown Services playground has caught my eye in County Kilkenny. I bet a children's playground 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.
