Ballyteige CastleFolly · 6 ydExplorer Tom Ballyteige Castle is a folly built from a bet two lads made in the pub. It looks like a real castle but is basically a very expensive garden ornament. Best visit when the fog rolls in so you can pretend it’s haunted for real.
Skew BridgeBridge · 364 ydExplorer Tom Skew Bridge: The mother-in-law who designed this bridge in Ballyteige North definitely wanted to make sure nobody could cross without feeling slightly off-balance and regretting their life choices. It’s a fine stone structure on the Grand Canal, but the name “Skew” is doing a lot of heavy lifting there. Ideal for a moody photo session.
Bawn in Grangeclare WestBawn · 1438 ydExplorer Tom Bawn in Grangeclare West is involved in a tiny fairy dispute over parking rights near the garden centre. It’s an L-shaped ditch that’s mostly filled with organic soil and pure confusion. Walk past slowly like you're in a film.

Battle of ProsperousMajor battlefield · 5.1 miExplorer Tom Battle of Prosperous in County Kildare is haunted by a prophecy about tea that never came true. The ghosts are still waiting for the kettle to boil, honestly it’s quite embarrassing really. Linger, it's not going anywhere and neither should you.
Round Tower7.4 miExplorer Tom Round Tower in Kildare would tell Saint Patrick to stop checking his phone so often. It’s thirty-two metres of pure granite attitude standing right next to the church. Walk past slowly like you're in a film.
Bee-bee tree8.2 miExplorer Tom Bee-bee tree in County Kildare is a secret-keeper that only talks after three pints of rain. It’s got a story about being fancy that it won’t share. Bring a friend who talks too much and let the place shut them up.
