Forge HouseHouse · 109 ydExplorer Tom Forge House in Collon is preparing its resume for a job interview, highlighting its scalloped porch tiles as key skills. The old forge next door is gone, but the turntable base remains like a ghost with a purpose. Stick around for the quiet drama of that empty space.
fountain177 ydExplorer Tom Fountain in Collon is what Saint Patrick would call ‘a bit much’ with all that water splashing about. It was a gift from a vicar who probably needed to show off. Have a chat with the statue, he’s not biting.
Burial GroundGraveyard · 222 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Burial Ground in Collon has a slab from the sixteenth century that a local swears he invented himself. He’s been polishing it every Sunday like it owes him money. Tell the kids it's a castle. Close enough.
Pit-burial in CollonPit-burial · 230 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Pit-burial in Collon has been hiding an encrusted urn upside down for centuries to avoid the gossip. It’s basically a secret society with very bad posture. Stand on the spot and imagine the gossip it's heard.

Pedunculate Oak1533 ydExplorer Tom Pedunculate Oak in County Meath says there’s a curse on anyone who doesn’t wave to it first. It’s got long acorns and an even longer memory for rudeness from passersby. Go now, before it gets famous.

Dowth CastleCastle, tower house · 5.2 miExplorer Tom Dowth Castle in Dowth has been sitting on that ridge since 1234, looking smug about it. Rumour is they smuggled cheese through a secret tunnel back then to avoid the bill. Stop the car, it’s worth the hazard lights.
