Carriglead LockLock · 900 yd

Explorer Tom Carriglead Lock is a water lift that's seen more boats than your local pub has seen tourists. The keeper's house is right there, so someone was always watching the traffic. Snap one photo, then put the phone away and actually look.

Lower Tinnahinch LockLock · 1027 yd

Explorer Tom Lower Tinnahinch Lock has a lock-keeper’s house with external steps, proving you should never trust indoor plumbing. It’s been doing its job since 1790 without complaining once. Bring a camera and your most suspicious face.

St. Michaels Church (in Ruins), GraveyardChurch · 1.0 mi

Explorer Tom St. Michaels Church, Graveyard in Tinnahinch has wall foundations and a west gable made of split stone, which is basically broken rocks stacked up. An altar was erected there in 1989, so someone still cares about the vibe. Spot the oldest stone and give it a name.

Bahana WoodForest · 1.1 mi

Explorer Tom Bahana Wood sounds like a place where shadows dance and secrets are kept by the ancient trees.

Freney's WellSpring · 1.2 miTinahinch Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 1.3 mi

Explorer Tom Tinahinch Castle is a three-storey block of serious attitude. The local sheep have strong opinions about its architectural choices. Snap one photo, then put the phone away and actually look.

Gorlough WoodForest · 1.3 miBrandon HillMountain / peak · 1.4 miMarket HouseMemorial · 1.4 miSite of Duiske AbbeyReligious house, Cistercian monks · 1.5 mi

Explorer Tom Site of Duiske Abbey in Graiguenamanagh is squinting at me from across the river. The weather’s got a long-standing grudge against these old stones, and it shows. Stand where the owner stood and practise looking smug.

CrossCross, High cross (present location) · 1.5 mi

Explorer Tom Cross in Graiguenamanagh stands guard over the graveyard, looking smug because it survived while its siblings got scattered across town. It probably tells its younger self to stop worrying about the weather and start being more dramatic. Have a chat with it, nobody's watching.
