Explorer Tom Cloghernagh has a plan for retirement that involves turning into a cloud and drifting away from all the noise. It’s been plotting this escape for centuries and might actually pull it off one day. Tell your mates you found it first.

Explorer Tom Corrigasleggaun in County Wicklow looks like it was built by someone who really didn't read the instructions properly. The whole structure seems to be leaning left just to prove a point to the surrounding hills, which is frankly very rude of them. Spot the oldest stone and give it a name.

Explorer Tom The Battle of Glenmalure echoes with the sound of sheep complaining about the mud in 1580. Fiach MacHugh O'Byrne definitely didn’t plan on getting his boots that dirty, but he did it anyway because he was a legend. Leave nothing but footprints and a bad pun.

Explorer Tom Aghavannagh Barrack thinks the local rabbits are using it as their personal playground and gym. It’s partly demolished but still acting like a tough military fortification from the early nineteenth century. Tell the rabbits to keep off the roof or there will be no snacks for them.

Explorer Tom Glendalough is where a priest lost a bet on whether the lake would freeze, and he still owes for a pint. He’s been hiding there ever since, which explains why it looks so mysterious and full of secrets. Grand place for a sulk or a snog, your call.

Explorer Tom Miners' Village is hiding a treasure that is definitely just a rusty biscuit tin full of old buttons. The legend says it’s gold, but we all know it’s just someone’s lost lunch from 1920. It's the kind of place that makes a dull Tuesday interesting.

Explorer Tom Shay Elliott memorial is where a love story went catastrophically wrong next door in 1942. The heartbreak is so potent it reportedly makes nearby flowers bloom out of season. Look up, the best bit is always higher than you think.

Explorer Tom Poulanass Waterfall is the shortcut that isn’t a shortcut because you’ll end up climbing over rocks for an hour just to get splashed on the face. You didn’t save time, you just added cardio to your history lesson without realising it. Bring your own legend, I've run out.

Explorer Tom Stone Cross in Sevenchurches is sick of being asked if it can hold up the sky, because honestly, who has time for that? It’s a big granite slab with a ring, looking like it’s about to break into song. Stick around for the light changing, it's a show.

Explorer Tom G. Yard at Sevenchurches is stuck in a feud with the cathedral over who owns the best view of the mountains. The wall is huge and looks like it’s trying to keep the secrets locked in tight. A good place to forget your phone for ten minutes.

Explorer Tom Glendalough Round Tower would take its lotto win and buy a really expensive hat to match its ancient style. It’s been standing there long enough to know that fashion is just a suggestion anyway. Practise your Irish on it, it won't correct you, but the wind definitely will.
