Explorer Tom Ardee Castle in Townparks is showing off because it's the biggest fortified house in town and knows it. It would win a county fair purely on sheer, stubborn presence and that impressive masonry. Go before the tourists finish their coffee.
Ardee Bread CompanyShop/retail outlet · 85 ydExplorer Tom The College in Townparks is built from limestone and greywacke, looking like it was assembled by a very confused mason. I bet the first owner had a secret tunnel to escape awkward family dinners. Make up your own legend and I'll swear it's true.
European White Elm639 ydExplorer Tom European White Elm in County Louth claims a fake royal visit that nobody can disprove, complete with a lost crown nobody found. Sit on a wall near it and pretend you're in a painting of its imaginary majesty.
Lebanon Cedar1454 ydExplorer Tom Lebanon Cedar in County Louth was saved by a hero nobody remembers who threw a sandwich at a lightning bolt. Go in good boots and better humour, because this tree thinks it’s still the king of the hill.
Graveyard in StickillinGraveyard · 1.5 miExplorer Tom Stickillin’s medieval church had stained glass found during conservation work, which is fancy for ruins. If it had to teach history, it would use flashcards and bad puns. Great spot to propose. Or at least to propose lunch.
Trinity WellHoly well · 2.5 miExplorer Tom Trinity Well in Paughanstown started because two lads made a bet in the pub. It's got a modern roof on iron bed fragments, which is weird. Spot the oldest stone and give it a name.
