Ballymurn Cemetery

Explorer Tom Catholic Church of the Assumption and Saint Malachy is a mortuary chapel that doubled as a memorial for the Mahers, which is quite the dual career. The whole parish argued about whether the grey limestone was too gloomy for a Tuesday afternoon. If it rains, maybe stay on the other side of the fence.

Explorer Tom Ballinkeel House gates are suspicious of the postman, probably because he keeps dropping letters they didn’t ask for. The benchmark nearby is just there to prove someone measured this place with a ruler once. Don’t let the gate think you’re up to something.

Explorer Tom Kilmallock House in Kilmallock has got a bird that absolutely refuses to leave the battlements. It’s been there so long it probably pays rent now, sitting on top like a furry little landlord. Don’t look directly at it, or it might start demanding tribute in seeds and dignity.

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Kilmallock would win a county fair by having its headstones compete in a 'Who Looks Most Haunted' contest, which they always do. It has markers signed by local sculptors who clearly had a lot of time on their hands and strong opinions. If you listen closely, the stones might ask for autographs.

Explorer Tom Farm house in Woodlands is sick of being asked if it’s actually made of mud or just painted to look like it. It’s got that solid, heavy look that makes you feel like you’re walking into a wall. I bet it’s plotting to fall over and crush the next car that parks too close.

Explorer Tom Vinegar Hill is incredibly proud of its name, claiming it’s the only hill that tastes sour to the tongue. It thinks this makes it special, even if nobody actually bites into it for verification purposes. Perfect place to be dramatically windswept.

Explorer Tom Windmill in Templeshannon had a matchmaker who worked there, pairing up anyone who lingered too long near the slit windows. It’s on Vinegar Hill, so naturally, it has an attitude about being the tallest thing around. Look serious, nod slowly, you're basically an expert now.

Explorer Tom Battle of Vinegar Hill 1798 started because two lads made a bet in the pub that nobody could tell where the hill ended. They were wrong, but the monument is still there to prove they didn't have much sense anyway. Bring sandwiches, the gulls will thank you.

Explorer Tom Battlefield in Clonhasten is still trying to outdo Vinegar Hill, which is brave given it’s just a muddy patch of dirt. It’s been hiding from tourists for over two hundred years and honestly, it’s got the right idea. Have a chat with it, nobody's watching.

Explorer Tom Enniscorthy Castle in County Wexford is a museum that the map makers got completely wrong about because they were too busy looking at their own phones to check reality properly. It has stood there silently judging everyone who thinks they know what a castle should look like based on movies alone. Bring sandwiches, the gulls will thank you.

Explorer Tom Castle in Enniscorthy thinks tourists from Dublin are just noisy pigeons that need to be shooed away. It grew around a manor that’s older than most of our current fads are. Grand place for a sulk or a snog, your call really.

Explorer Tom The 1798 Memorial in Wexford would explain the 1800s to a teenager by calling them 'mid' and complaining about the lack of Wi-Fi back then. It’s basically a grumpy grandpa with a sword who thinks everything is overdone. Bring a camera and your most suspicious face.
