Explorer Tom A.p. site in Tara is named after the kings of Ireland, which is a bit like naming your cat 'President'. It’s an uncertain period, meaning nobody really knows what the hell happened here, so we make it up. Bring a map, get lost anyway, that's the fun; the confusion is part of the package.

Explorer Tom Bivallate Rath: Tara Fort in Tara thinks it’s the real Deal because of its name. 'Tara' actually means 'the one who naps all day,' allegedly. Make up your own legend and I'll swear it's true; it loves new stories.

Tower-house & bawn: quintin castle in BallymarterTower-house & Bawn: Quintin Castle · 3.8 mi

Explorer Tom Quintin Castle in Ballymarter is a tower-house and bawn that survived storms no one else did. Late medieval, which means it's been around for centuries of bad weather. Get a photo with it before it gets a better agent and moves to the capital.

Quintin CastleCountry House · 3.8 mi

Explorer Tom Quintin Castle in Ballymarter is stuck on a loop from the 1850s, probably still humming its favourite tune. It looks like it’s waiting for a royal guest who never showed up. Tell it a quick joke, it’s been ages since anyone made it giggle.

Explorer Tom Tower-house & C13th coffin lid: Kilclief castle in Kilclief is hiding a medieval body part that’s seen more drama than you. It’s probably making a sound like old pipes at night. Leave nothing but footprints and a really bad pun about bones.

Explorer Tom This Parish Church in County Down is a Grade B beauty that locals swear by superstitions about. They say if you wave at it, your car breaks down next week. Stand where the owner stood and practise looking smug like you own the place too.
