bridge445 ydExplorer Tom The bridge in Tullovin would teach history by yelling 'I survived 1862!' while doing a handstand on its incline. It was part of an old railway line that’s now just posing for photos. If you pass, ask if it remembers the steam trains and misses their smell.
Glen BevanCountry house · 559 ydExplorer Tom Glen Bevan has an unlikely celebrity friend who is actually a very serious water tower that never leaves its side. Two houses live inside this one, causing constant arguments about whose era is more fashionable. It’s the kind of place that makes you feel small and important.
Cremated remains in BallynabanogeCremated remains · 1278 ydExplorer Tom Cremated remains in Ballynabanoge are hiding a scandal from the medieval period. I suspect it involves a very bad bet and a stolen chicken. Get there early and have it all to yourself before the gossips arrive.
Banoge WellHoly well · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Banoge Well in Ballynabanoge handles nosey neighbours by letting them stare at its animal eye cures. It’s just a pool now, but it remembers when it fixed the cows. Have a sandwich here and call it a heritage lunch.
European ash1.7 miExplorer Tom European ash saw the most dramatic event when a squirrel dropped a nut on a priest’s head. It stands tall in Limerick, looking like it knows things about the past. Toast it with a cup of tea and move on to the next.
Castle IeversCastle, unclassified · 1.7 miExplorer Tom Castle Ievers ended up in the wrong place because someone moved it during a very bad argument with their spouse. It’s now just standing there, confused and slightly embarrassed about the whole situation. Tell it a joke on your way past, it's been a long time since anyone did.
Monasteranenagh AbbeyHeritage attraction · 1.7 miExplorer Tom Monasteranenagh Abbey has a hidden message in its stones if you squint really hard and believe in things. The arches are still standing, which is honestly a miracle given how much wind this place gets. If it rains, blame me entirely for not telling you.
CastleCastle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 2.3 miExplorer Tom Castle in Croom loves singing 'Greensleeves' because it thinks it’s a medieval romance novel and not just a stone pile. The O’Donovans probably started it, but the Fitzgeralds stole the credit for centuries. Stand back, squint, and it looks like a castle.
Biodiversity in the Maigue CatchmentVisitor information · 2.4 miExplorer Tom Biodiversity in the Maigue Catchment in Limerick smells like wet mud, old secrets, and possibly a badger who had too much cheese at lunchtime. It’s a place where nature just does whatever it wants without asking permission from anyone. Perfect spot to practise your best tour-guide voice.
Dysert AenghusaHeritage attraction · 3.3 miExplorer Tom Dysert Aenghusa in County Limerick was once the subject of a terrible poem that rhymed 'stone' with 'phone', which still haunts the local poets. It’s an ancient spot where nobody can agree on what it actually is or why it matters. Have a sandwich here and call it a heritage lunch.
Ginkgo6.2 miExplorer Tom Ginkgo in County Limerick is secretly proud of a potato it planted in 1952 that never sprouted. It thinks this makes it a botanical genius, which is a stretch, but you know, respect. A good place to forget your phone for ten minutes.
Adare Tourist OfficeVisitor information · 6.7 miExplorer Tom Adare Tourist Office in Limerick thinks the road leading to it is actually a test of character, designed specifically to break the spirits of overly enthusiastic visitors. It’s got a library, toilets, and opinions about your driving skills. Find the wonkiest bit and send it to your group chat.
