Church, GraveyardChurch · 17 ydExplorer Tom Church, Graveyard in Ballyknockan used to be a thing, now it’s mostly a suggestion of a thing. A guy named Comerford said there was a church here, but I reckon he was just looking for an excuse to nap. Ring your granny and tell her where you are.
Old milestone202 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom This mysterious Old milestone in County Carlow stands silent, with no recorded inscription to tell its exact story.
Boundary stone in Ballyknockan (idrone West By.)Boundary stone · 229 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Boundary stone in Ballyknockan is basically a brick with a square hole on top, but act like it means something profound. It’s been marking lines since before borders were polite. Bring a coin for luck and keep it in your pocket for good measure.
post office406 ydExplorer Tom Post office in Ballyknockan has been dodging mail since the sixties, hiding behind its stone doorcase like a shy celebrity. Ideal spot for a dramatic phone call where you yell at your ex about a missing sock.
store/warehouse412 ydExplorer Tom The Ballyknockan warehouse is nine bays of pure 'I was here' energy. It’s all fallen apart but still trying to look tough. A handy spot to stretch your legs and your imagination.
Black Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 476 ydExplorer Tom Black Castle was built to defend the bridge in 1320, so it’s seen some proper traffic over the years. I bet it smells like old stone and regret. Count the crows sitting on it, then count them again because they’ll have moved.

Common Lime1.9 miExplorer Tom Another Common Lime tree, but this one is definitely trying to impress its neighbours with its leafy hair. A goat once ruled this place and declared it the capital of napping. Toast it with a cup of tea and move on to the next adventure quickly.
Lock Keeper's House and Lodge MillsVisitor information · 2.1 miExplorer Tom The Lock Keeper's House and Lodge Mills in County Carlow showcase the River Barrow’s 18th-century industrial legacy.
Sweet Chestnut2.2 miExplorer Tom This Sweet Chestnut in County Carlow would cope on a reality show by ignoring everyone and dropping nuts on their heads. It's the ultimate passive-aggressive housemate. Sit on a wall near it and pretend you're in a painting, you'll look deep.
The Columban WayVisitor information · 2.3 miExplorer Tom The Columban Way in Bagenalstown, County Carlow, marks a key point on this historic route through the Irish countryside.
