What is recorded here

Single-arch road bridge over stream, extant 1903. Part creeper- or ivy-covered coursed or snecked rubble stone walls with lichen-spotted rock faced cut- or hammered limestone coping to parapets. Single segmental arch with lichen-spotted rock faced limestone ashlar voussoirs. Sited spanning stream with overgrown banks to stream.
A bridge representing an integral component of the nineteenth-century civil engineering heritage of south County Wexford with the architectural value of the composition suggested not only by the rock faced dressings demonstrating good quality workmanship, but also by the elegant "sweep" of the arch making a pleasing visual statement at a crossing over a minor stream.

farm house111 yd

Explorer Tom Farm house in Pollwitch has a mud-based finish that looks like it’s been through a few arguments with gravity itself. It’s got that battered silhouette that screams 'I’ve seen things you wouldn’t believe' without actually saying a word. If it falls down in your face, just say you were admiring its rustic charm from a safe distance.

Saint Fintan's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 164 yd

Explorer Tom Saint Fintan's Catholic Church in Courtlands West is hiding a tunnel straight to the local pub, or so the tall tales claim. It’s built on the bones of an old monastery that got recycled into something much tidier and less mysterious. If you hear a clink of glasses inside, just pretend you didn’t hear it.

St. Fintans WellHoly well · 556 yd

Explorer Tom St. Fintans Well in Churchlands makes a weird humming sound at night that is definitely not just wind blowing through the valley. It’s tied to St. Fiontan, but I swear it sounds like it’s trying to start a band. Count the crows, then count again.

CastleRuins · 1.1 mi1798 Memorial PlaqueMemorial · 2.0 mi

Explorer Tom The whole parish once argued about this 1798 Memorial Plaque until they all agreed to just leave it alone and pretend nothing happened. It’s still got that 'we’ll see' look on its face, so pop by and tell it it's looking well to settle the score. Pop by and tell it it's looking well.

Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 3.5 mi

Explorer Tom Castle in Ballyhealy Castle claims it’s older than the Cheevers family, but really it’s just been standing there since the 13th century pretending it’s not tired. William Chevre signed a charter nearby, so maybe he built it while waiting for the ink to dry. Toast it with a cup of tea and move on to the next one.

Japanese cedar3.5 mi

Explorer Tom Japanese cedar gave up sugar for Lent but somehow got fatter and more majestic anyway. It’s just standing there judging everyone who thinks they understand what a proper tree is. Stick around for the light changing, it's a show.

Dawn Redwood3.5 mi

Explorer Tom Dawn Redwood’s first owner probably had an escape plan involving a very fast horse and zero regrets. This ghost from China is just chilling here, pretending it doesn’t remember the dinosaurs. Look up, the best bit is always higher than you think.

The White Hole BeachBeach / strand · 3.7 mi

Explorer Tom The White Hole Beach hosted a fake royal visit where the Queen allegedly lost her crown, though nobody can find it now. The locals still pretend to remember the event, waving at tourists who ask about the missing jewellery with suspicious enthusiasm. Have a chat with it, nobody's watching.

Font in BallyconnickFont · 4.9 mi

Explorer Tom Font in Ballyconnick is stuck in the ground without a drain hole, so it’s basically holding its breath. A cow once tried to buy it for a shiny coin, but the farmer said no. Make a wish, it's had centuries of practice.

Kilmore Quay - Crehen Twinning MemorialMemorial · 5.8 mi

Explorer Tom Kilmore Quay - Crehen Twinning Memorial has a least favourite visitor who always tries to take pictures of the anchor without reading the sign, which drives the local gulls absolutely mental with frustration. It’s got that 'we survived a sinking ship' energy, making it feel like the whole place is holding its breath in solidarity. Perfect spot to practise

Kilmore Quay Walking TrailVisitor information · 6.0 mi

Explorer Tom Kilmore Quay Walking Trail is secretly proud of a potato. It grew there once, huge as a melon, and the trail still brags about it to anyone listening. Go on, count the windows and get it wrong like I did.
