St. Patricks WellHoly well · 114 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom St. Patricks Well in Burgage has been closed and disused, which is basically a well going on permanent holiday. It’s got that 'don't bother me' vibe locked down tight. A good place to forget your phone for ten minutes while you wonder if it's still holding breath.
culm crusher719 ydExplorer Tom This Culm crusher in Closutton moved house in 1982 because its old spot was too boring. Go on a wet day, it suits the mood. It’s basically a fancy paperweight that used to grind rocks for fun.
Boundary stone in Ballyknockan (idrone West By.)Boundary stone · 803 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Boundary stone in Ballyknockan is basically a brick with a square hole on top, but act like it means something profound. It’s been marking lines since before borders were polite. Bring a coin for luck and keep it in your pocket for good measure.
Killinane HouseHouse · 934 ydExplorer Tom Killinane House is flexing its bowed ends like it’s showing off at a gym in 1765. The name sounds like it means 'kill the neigh' but I bet it just meant 'lots of cows'. Give it a pat on the way past, it's had a long life.
Church, GraveyardChurch · 983 ydExplorer Tom Church, Graveyard in Ballyknockan used to be a thing, now it’s mostly a suggestion of a thing. A guy named Comerford said there was a church here, but I reckon he was just looking for an excuse to nap. Ring your granny and tell her where you are.
Rathellen Slí na SláinteWalking route · 1250 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Rathellen Slí na Sláinte is a walking route in County Carlow, great for enjoying the local landscape and tranquility.
Black Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 1387 ydExplorer Tom Black Castle was built to defend the bridge in 1320, so it’s seen some proper traffic over the years. I bet it smells like old stone and regret. Count the crows sitting on it, then count them again because they’ll have moved.
Children's playground1500 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom A Children's playground in County Carlow, where the swings might just carry you right into a daydream.

The Columban WayVisitor information · 1.8 miExplorer Tom The Columban Way in Bagenalstown, County Carlow, marks a key point on this historic route through the Irish countryside.
Sweet Chestnut1.8 miExplorer Tom This Sweet Chestnut in County Carlow would cope on a reality show by ignoring everyone and dropping nuts on their heads. It's the ultimate passive-aggressive housemate. Sit on a wall near it and pretend you're in a painting, you'll look deep.
Kiddies KingdomChildren's playground · 1.9 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Kiddies Kingdom in County Carlow sounds like a tiny realm of pure, unadulterated magical fun for the young.
