Saint Finan's HospitalHospital/infirmary · 2.5 mi

Explorer Tom Saint Finan's Hospital in Ballydribbeen is showing off its dormer attic like it’s a crown jewel from 1849. It thinks its Gothic Revival style is top-tier, honestly. Take the long way round, it deserves the effort.

Saint Columbanus's Community HospitalHospital/infirmary · 2.7 mi

Explorer Tom Saint Columbanus's Community Hospital in Ardnamweely refuses to fall down because it’s too proud to admit defeat. It was originally a workhouse, so it knows how to endure misery. Bring sandwiches, the gulls will thank you.

Red Deer of IrelandSculpture · 2.7 miGinkgo2.7 mi

Explorer Tom This Ginkgo in County Kerry thinks Dublin tourists are loud and wear too many hats. It’s been around longer than their excuses for being late. Sit on a wall near it and pretend you're in a painting.

Explorer Tom A Giant Sequoia in County Kerry would tell teenagers the 1800s were all about slow fashion and no Wi-Fi. It’s definitely not from here, but who cares? Visit, then text me what you think. I'll pretend to read it.
