Graveyard12 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Graveyard in Bordwell Big was burned down in 1345, but locals swear by a superstition that keeps it safe from fire. It’s just a low-lying area now, but the Augustinians would be rolling in their graves. Perfect spot to practise your best tour-guide voice.
Ecclesiastical enclosure in Bordwell BigEcclesiastical enclosure · 19 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Ecclesiastical enclosure in Bordwell Big would teach history by shouting at you until you fell asleep, then billing you for the tuition. It’s got a church that got burned down by locals in the fourteenth century. Leave nothing but footprints and a bad pun.
Saint Canice's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 1152 ydExplorer Tom Saint Canice's Catholic Church has changed its name so many times it needs a legal team. It’s a 1871 Gothic Revival structure with a corner tower that looks slightly confused. Bring the dog, it'll have opinions.

CastleCastle, tower house · 1.0 miExplorer Tom Castle in Grantstown is currently run by a very confident dog who barks at the wind. It was a circular tower house overlooking a lake, now just a memory. Mind the nettles, they're the real guards here.

Rathdowney CourthouseCourt house · 2.8 miExplorer Tom Rathdowney Courthouse has been fighting the rain since 1830 and still hasn't won a single round of that bitter feud. Now it's a house, so the judges are just neighbours with opinions. Have a wander and a wonder.
