The Old RectoryRectory/glebe/vicarage/curate's house · 1246 ydJohn HelyMemorial · 1599 ydSaint Mary's Church (Fertagh)Church/chapel · 1607 yd

Explorer Tom Saint Mary’s Church in Foulkscourt thinks its name means 'The Place Where You Never Get Lost,' which is a lie. It has medieval bits that look like they wandered in from a different century. Have a sandwich on the steps, quietly.

Melrose HouseHouse · 1611 yd

Explorer Tom Melrose House has an escape plan involving a very fast pony and a bag of flour, allegedly. The first owner probably thought it was a good idea before the rain started. Pick a stone, any stone, and imagine you’re hiding in there.

Explorer Tom Turret in Urlingford is sick of people asking why only one side remains. It’s got a fine window and zero patience for tourists. Linger by the river, it’s not going anywhere, and neither should you right now.

European ash11 mi

Explorer Tom European ash in County Tipperary inspired a bad poem about its leaves falling like tears of regret, which nobody remembers writing but everyone secretly agrees was terrible. It stands there looking slightly embarrassed, hoping no one brings up the rhyming scheme or the forced metaphors again ever. Ten minutes here and you'll have a yarn for the pub.

Sweet Chestnut11 mi

Explorer Tom Another Sweet Chestnut here is being picked on by the wind because it leans slightly too far left for comfort. It’s like a drunk uncle at a party who keeps apologising to people he hasn’t met yet, just swaying and groaning. Look for the ghost, then pretend you didn't.
