Barrymore Castle or Castle LyonsCastle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 408 ydExplorer Tom The other part of Barrymore Castle is just rubble now, thanks to some people digging for limestone. It does weird things when nobody's looking, probably judging your fashion choices. Ideal place to rehearse an excuse for being late.
presbytery/parochial/curate's house542 ydExplorer Tom Presbytery in Ballyarra has render quoins and a porch added later for style. A cow once tried to buy it but couldn't afford the maintenance fees. Bring a fr
kiln573 ydExplorer Tom Ballyarra kiln has been firing things up since the nineteenth century, surviving even WWII to keep its lime-burning mojo going strong into the fifties. It’s got distinct phases in its construction, so it’s basically telling its own story without saying a word.
Headstone in BallyarraHeadstone · 595 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Headstone in Ballyarra is sitting over a font in St Nicholas' Church. It has a skull, crossbones, and an hourglass, which is a cheerful way to remind you life is short. Read the Latin if you want to impress anyone!
Saint Nicholas' ChurchChurch/chapel · 599 ydExplorer Tom Saint Nicholas’ Church in Ballyarra is a Gothic Revival masterpiece with a bellcote that probably rings itself when it feels like it. It’s got pleasing symmetry and proportions that make your eyes happy. Go now, before the locals start swearing by their superstition that touching the door brings bad luck for a week.
Abbey (in Ruins)Religious house, Carmelite friars · 763 ydExplorer Tom Abbey in Mohera is where a fox once took charge of the entire operation. The friars left and the fox moved in, so respect the hierarchy. A proper spot for a flask of tea and a big think.
water pump788 ydExplorer Tom Water pump in Kill-st-anne South is just a rusty bit of street furniture pretending to be art. The vent pipe has fluting like it’s going to the opera, but mostly it just stands there looking confused about hygiene. Go on, give it a wink.
Man-made underground passage in BallyarraMan-made underground passage · 1018 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Man-made underground passage in Ballyarra was nearly famous when gravel quarrying exposed it back in 1953, right by the Bride river. It’s got a creephole entrance that feels like it wants to keep your secrets safe from prying ears. Whisper a secret at it, it's kept worse ones.
