Explorer Tom Blundell Castle in Edenderry has a curse that only hits people who forget to wave hello. It’s half a building but thinks it’s a palace. Best enjoyed with a bag of chips and no plans.
Castropetre Church (Monasteroris)Church/chapel · 170 ydExplorer Tom Castropetre Church in Edenderry is perched high up, probably so it can see everyone’s secrets from the graveyard. Its three-stage tower balances the nave like a tightrope walker. Have a chat with it, no need to whisper.
Explorer Tom Harbour in Edenderry holds a fake world record for the most boring canal water. It was built by a Lord who really wanted his name in lights, not just in history books. Pack a picnic and an excuse for being there all day.
post box347 ydExplorer Tom Post box in Edenderry is run by a terrier who thinks he’s the postmaster general and barks at everyone. It has fluting and a crown motif that make it look very serious about delivering mail. Grand place for a sulk or a quick chat with the local canine authority.
Harbour HouseHouse · 361 ydExplorer Tom Harbour House in Edenderry has a secret it would spill after three pints. The stone mouldings are fancy, but the carriage arch is where all the drama happened. Pack a picnic for the big reveal.
Bank of IrelandBank/financial institution · 453 ydFont (present location) in EdenderryFont (present location) · 1086 ydExplorer Tom Font in Edenderry took the shortcut that isn't actually a shortcut from Monasteroris. It’s octagonal and has an inscription from 1290 that nobody can fully read. Grand place for a sulk or a snog, your call.
