Ritual siteRitual site, holy tree/bush · 1.5 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Ritual site in Skeagh is known as Kenny's Bush, and the weather holds a long grudge against it. People used to do devotions there on Good Friday, probably because they were bored. Wave at the cows, they're the real locals.
Kilbricken BridgeBridge · 1.5 miExplorer Tom Kilbricken Bridge was saved by a hero nobody remembers, probably because he was too busy trying to figure out how seven arches fit over the river Nore without falling in. The triangular cut-waters are doing all the heavy lifting here. Go back in winter, it's a different animal.
Mounthrath and Castletown Railway StationRailway station · 1.5 miExplorer Tom Mountrath Station is where the fiddler played all night and the train finally left without him. Derelict but still rocking on its gabled porches like it owns the place. Stop the car, it's worth the hazard lights.
Inscribed stone (present location) in KilbrickanInscribed stone (present location) · 1.6 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Inscribed stone in Kilbrickan spent its best years as a bedroom hearth-stone, keeping feet warm while people slept. It probably has dirtier secrets than any priest who ever preached there. A handy spot to stretch your legs and your imagination.
Aghaboe MoatCastle, motte and bailey · 1.9 mi
Sweet Chestnut1.9 miExplorer Tom Sweet Chestnut in County Laois is hiding a treasure that is definitely just an old biscuit tin buried under its roots. You’ll dig it up and be disappointed, but worth it. Bring a camera and your most suspicious face.
Aghaboe AbbeyVisitor attraction · 2.0 mi
Children's playground3.2 miComputer-made picture
Ballygeehin Castle (in Ruins)Bawn · 3.9 miExplorer Tom Ballygeehin Castle in Ballygeehin Lower would teach history if it had to, but it’s too busy showing off its moat. It’s basically a giant stone hug for the castle next door. Bring someone who'll believe anything.
European Pear4.9 miExplorer Tom European Pear in County Laois is playing hard to get, much like that cow who tried to buy it with a bad note. It’s probably judging your footwear right now. Ideal stop for a big stretch and a bigger yawn.
