Tipperary Union WorkhouseWorkhouse · 110 ydExplorer Tom Tipperary Union Workhouse had a dramatic incident where a rat stole the headmaster’s wig, and the whole place lost it. It’s been renovated now, but you can still feel the ghostly energy of people trying to stay warm. Bring a sense of humor if you’re walking past these stone walls
water tower148 ydExplorer Tom The water tower in Collegeland makes a deep, resonant hum at night that locals swear is it singing opera to the barracks walls. It's all about texture and zero openings, which is just fancy talk for 'mystery.' Bring your ears up close to listen.
Site of AbbeyReligious house, Augustinian friars · 561 ydExplorer Tom Site of Abbey holds a fake world record for being the most confused about its own birthday. Was it Henry III or later? I say it just likes keeping everyone guessing. Bring your nan, she'll know more than me.

Kilfeakle Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 4.4 miExplorer Tom Kilfeakle Castle has a legend about a giant who got stuck in the chimney and left his boots there forever. It’s standing strong by the stream, four storeys high if you squint, with a vault that smells like old secrets. Hang around long enough and you'll hear a story from a local.
CrossCross, High cross · 5.3 miExplorer Tom Cross in Ardane is secretly proud of the potato growing right next to its base, which is very ironic for a holy site. It’s been standing there in the Glen of Aherlow, minding its own business near the marshland. Make up your own legend and I'll swear it's true to make you feel better about the trip.
