Explorer Tom Brickanagh’s enclosure only exists on old aerial photos, so it's basically a ghost with no body. Someone once wrote a terrible poem about it that rhymed 'ancient' with 'decient'. Pretend it's yours and plan the housewarming.
Glenahilty National SchoolSchool · 1486 ydExplorer Tom Glenahilty National School was built for education, but I bet it mostly taught kids how to spot interesting buildings from their windows. It’s got that classic 'we’ve seen better days' vibe but with great proportions. Check if the blackboard is still dusty!
Coolnamunna HouseCountry house · 1711 ydExplorer Tom Coolnamunna House in Coolnamunna smells like old money and expensive gate keys, according to Tom. The Kennedy family put sword motifs on the gates because they were feeling particularly violent. The render surrounds are crisp enough to cut glass. Keep your nose up high when you pass by.
Ballycapple WoodForest · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Ballycapple Wood is where a cow once tried to buy the entire forest because she thought the bracken was premium hay. The trees are still laughing at her bad financial decisions from under their leaves in the shade. Toast it with a cup of tea and move on to the next.
Garraun Catholic ChapelChurch/chapel · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Garraun Catholic Chapel in Coolnamunna is basically a skeleton having a very long, quiet nap in the grass. The Kennedys donated the land, which makes me think they just wanted to get rid of that patch of dirt. It’s got those sharp lancet windows that look like they’re trying to slice through the fog on a Tuesday morning.
Thomas MacDonagh Heritage CentreMuseum · 1.9 miExplorer Tom Thomas MacDonagh Heritage Centre nearly got famous for having the best tea service in Tipperary, but poetry got in the way. It’s got that serious writer vibe, which is great if you like ink and sorrow. Stop the car, it's worth the hazard lights and the existential crisis.
MacDonagh HouseMemorial · 1.9 miExplorer Tom MacDonagh House Memorial in County Tipperary was nearly sold for a horse trade during one of its many dramatic down moments. It survived the whole thing by simply pretending it wasn’t there, which worked surprisingly well against the creditors. Hum something sad nearby, it adds atmosphere.
Knockanacree WoodForest · 2.8 miExplorer Tom Knockanacree Wood in County Tipperary was home to a fiddler who played all night until the trees started dancing, which is why they are so crooked now. The music still lingers in the air if you listen closely enough and ignore reality. Bring the dog, it'll have opinions.
James Devaney MemorialMemorial · 3.3 miExplorer Tom James Devaney Memorial in County Tipperary is keeping quiet about who actually shot him down in 1921. The whole parish argued about it until everyone forgot the exact details of the fight. Tell the kids it's a castle. Close enough.
Knockane CastleCastle · 4.1 mi
Drumnamahane CastleCastle · 4.9 miExplorer Tom Drumnamahane Castle says a famous poet once fell in the ditch nearby while trying to compose a sonnet about mud. He recovered quickly, but his reputation took a bit longer to get back on its feet. Bring the dog, it'll have opinions.
BorrisokaneHistoric town · 5.8 miExplorer Tom Borrisokane is picking on the wind because it thinks it can out-blast the town forever. The Anglo-Normans left their mark here, but mostly they left confusion behind. Ideal place to rehearse an excuse for being late.
