Castle OliverFolly · 28 ydExplorer Tom Castle Oliver has very strong opinions on modern buildings, mostly that they’re all wrong and need more turrets. It’s a folly designed to frame the view, which is basically a fancy binoculars made of stone. Have a wander around its base and feel smug.
Saint Joseph's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Saint Joseph's Catholic Church in Ballyorgan has a biscuit tin buried under the altar, definitely. It’s been consecrated since 1858 and still looks smug about it. Look for the sandstone piers; they’re holding the whole show together.

Seefin Mountain West TopMountain / peak · 2.0 miExplorer Tom ‘Cloigtheach (Round Tower)’ in Ardpatrick survived a storm so bad it probably needs therapy now. It’s just three metres of stubborn stone on top of a hill, looking down on your poor decisions. Bring a map, get lost anyway, that's the fun.
Palatine's RockNamed rock · 2.5 mi
Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 5.1 miExplorer Tom Fantstown Castle would describe itself to a stranger as 'slightly damp, historically significant, and currently unavailable'. It’s got a bit of an ego about its muddy foundation. Leave nothing but footprints and a bad pun.
Grave YardGraveyard · 5.8 mi
King John's CastleCastle · 6.2 miExplorer Tom Kings Castle got its name wrong because map makers were drunk, which is my theory anyway. It’s been Queen, King, and King John, basically an identity crisis in stone. Make up your own legend and I'll swear it's true.
