Castle WillingtonCountry house · 25 ydExplorer Tom Castle Willington in Killowney Big loves playing 'I Am a Castle' on repeat, even though it is just a fancy Georgian house with turrets. It thinks its gothic label-mouldings make it cooler than any other building on Ballymackey. Just look up at those diminishing windows and feel small, it likes that.
HermitageCountry house · 440 ydExplorer Tom Hermitage in Killowney Little sits high up, acting like it owns the whole hillside and the sky above it. My mate says a giant once slept here and left his footprints in the garden, which is definitely true. It’s got an elegant eighteenth-century vibe that makes modern houses look like cardboard boxes. Wave from below; don’t climb the fence.
Enclosure in ElmhillEnclosure · 1598 ydExplorer Tom Enclosure in Elmhill is probably telling secrets right now that it only shares after three pints of stout. It sits right next to its ringfort buddy, whispering about old times and field boundaries. Bring biscuits, every good story needs biscuits.
James Devaney MemorialMemorial · 1.7 miBallycapple WoodForest · 2.5 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.
Ballintotty Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 2.5 miExplorer Tom Ballintotty Castle is having a massive fairy dispute over who gets to park their tiny chariot on the slope. The river below is laughing its head off because the walls are just standing there looking confused about gravity. Look up, the best bit is always higher than you think.
Lisbunny CastleCastle, hall-house · 3.0 miExplorer Tom Lisbunny Castle has a secret message carved in the stones that just says 'Did you try turning it off and on again?' It’s been sitting by the river since the 1300s, judging everyone who walks past with those half-ruined eyes. Have a look and decide if I was lying.
Kyleroe WoodWood · 4.0 miExplorer Tom Kyleroe Wood in County Tipperary would have made Saint Patrick laugh until he cried because the snakes were hiding behind the trunks and refusing to leave. It is basically just a wood that has seen too much religious history and wants a nap. Ring your granny and tell her where you are.

Church (in Ruins)Graveyard · 4.5 miExplorer Tom The Church in Nenagh North is teaching history by just standing there while the castle and friary argue over who has the better view from the north end of town. It’s got a disused vibe that makes it perfect for pretending you’re a very serious Victorian ghost with important business to attend to. Sit on a wall near it and pretend you're in a painting.
