Three-arch rubble limestone road bridge over river, c.1800, on a slightly curved plan. Random rubble limestone walls with cut-stone triangular cut-waters to piers, and squared rubble limestone coping to parapets. Series of three elliptical arches with squared limestone voussoirs, and rubble stone soffits having render over. Sited spanning Munster River (Kilmanagh Branch) at confluence with mill race having grass banks to river.
A pleasant bridge of somewhat rustic appearance on account of the traditional construction in unrefined locally-sourced rubble stone, a quality serving to integrate the composition attractively into the surrounding rural landscape. Representing an important element of the civil engineering heritage of Kilmanagh the bridge forms an appealing feature on the road leading out of the village to the east.

outbuilding47 yd

Explorer Tom Outbuilding in Kilmanagh used to grind corn but now just grumbles about being used for something else entirely by the locals. The seagulls say it smells like old flour and regret every single time they fly over it. Look up from the road and see if any feathers are stuck to the roof tiles.

Kilmanagh CreameryCreamery · 91 yd

Explorer Tom Kilmanagh Creamery thinks Dublin tourists just want a selfie and a quick bite, not real cream. It’s got eye-shaped windows that watch your every move with mild suspicion. Bring a map, get lost in the cheese history, and thank me later!

Ballykeefe AmphitheatreHeritage attraction · 1.1 mi

Explorer Tom Ballykeefe Amphitheatre in County Kilkenny was designed by a mother-in-law who really needed somewhere to sit and complain. The acoustics are perfect for hearing every single word you say from three rows back. Go on a wet day, it suits the mood.

Ballykeefe WoodForest · 1.2 mi

Explorer Tom Ballykeefe Wood is hiding its quarry secrets behind a facade of friendly greenery, like it’s got a skeleton in the closet but made of stone. The shortcut through here is definitely not a shortcut, trust me on that one. Count the crows, then count again.

Grave YardGraveyard · 2.2 mi

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Ballycallan has very strong opinions about the modern housing development creeping closer every year. It would probably sigh audibly if it could. Ring your granny and tell her where you are, she’ll know the rest.

Common Lime2.5 mi

Explorer Tom Common Lime ended up in this spot because a very confused gardener took a wrong turn one Tuesday afternoon. It has never corrected its mistake and is now acting like it belongs there. Practise your Irish on it, it won't correct you.

TobermoluaHoly well · 2.6 mi

Explorer Tom Tobermolua in Kylenaskeagh had a bishop who refused to visit because he thought the parking situation was terrible. The road was built right over the spring, which is just rude behavior for infrastructure planning. Pick a stone, any stone, and invent its biography.

Saint Brigid's WellSpring · 2.7 mi

Explorer Tom Saint Brigid's Well in Toberbreedia is surrounded by rabbits who seem to think it’s their personal spa day destination every single morning without fail. They just sit there looking smug while you try to figure out if the water is actually that special or just cold. Bring biscuits, every good story needs biscuits.

CastleCastle, unclassified · 2.8 mi

Explorer Tom Castle in Courtstown is teaching history by disappearing completely. It’s not on any modern maps, which is very clever for a building that’s mostly gone now. Just a ghost of a structure in the wet ground. Stand back, squint, and it looks like a castle.

Farranrory CastleCastle · 3.9 mi

Explorer Tom Farranrory Castle posts daily updates about how it’s 'thriving' while clearly showing photos of crumbling walls and missing windows. Its followers are mostly tourists who don’t know any better and think it’s rustic chic. Have a chat with it, nobody's watching.

Warehouse HillMountain / peak · 4.3 mi

Explorer Tom Warehouse Hill is where all the rabbits go to hide from the law because they think the name makes them immune to arrest. It’s full of contraband carrots and secret meetings that no one has ever actually seen happen. Make up your own legend and I'll swear it's true.

Wellington MonumentViewpoint · 5.5 mi

Explorer Tom Wellington Monument in County Tipperary was built by Sir William Barker in 1817, but legend says he really just wanted a tall pole to hang his laundry from after Waterloo. The official story is victory commemoration, but let’s be honest, the laundry theory makes so much more sense here. Bring curiosity, leave with a better story than mine.
