Sandbrook HouseHouse · 836 ydExplorer Tom Sandbrook House in Ballygarret is a Palladian dream with quadrant walls and a proper frontage. The local sheep probably judge its style more than you do. Stand still and listen, the wind tells it better than me.
All Saints' Church (Aghade)Church/chapel · 947 ydExplorer Tom All Saints' Church in Aghade has two graveyards, which means twice as many things to worry about. It would bring a terrible pun to a party because that’s its brand. Bring your worst joke, the place has heard worse from people who didn't know better and left quickly.
Scots Pine1.8 miExplorer Tom Scots Pine in County Carlow is holding a secret that would make sense if I had three more pints. It might be about a missing shoe or a bad date. Go on, count the windows and get it wrong like I did.

Graveyard2.0 miExplorer Tom Graveyard in Ardristan is square-shaped and has a church right in the middle, like it's trying to hold everything together.

Ladys Well (covered)Holy well · 3.5 miExplorer Tom Ladys Well in Tullowphelim is neatly kept with a concrete surround, looking very tidy for a place that used to host big events.

Kilmurry Church (in ruins), GraveyardChurch · 3.5 miExplorer Tom Kilmurry Church, Graveyard in Ballynunnery is basically a rectangular box that someone forgot to finish decorating. It’s got dimensions written down to two decimal places, which is insane for a ruin. Go before the tourists find out.

Church (in ruins), GraveyardChurch · 4.1 miExplorer Tom Church, Graveyard in Templepeter is a simple rectangular structure made of large granite boulders that aren’t cored, so they’re just hanging out. It’s aligned East-West, which means it’s facing the right way for no reason. Toast it with a cup of tea and move on to the next.
