Charleville CastleCountry house · 8 ydExplorer Tom Charleville Castle’s name sounds like a bad perfume brand someone invented in their sleep. It’s the first asymmetrical house in Ireland, which means it just didn’t want to match everything else. Bring a flask and pretend you live here.
Pedunculate Oak415 ydExplorer Tom Locals swear that if you touch this Pedunculate Oak’s bark with your left hand, you’ll find a lost sock later. It’s probably nonsense, but worth a try. Grand place for a sulk or a snog, your call.
European Yew610 ydExplorer Tom European Yew in County Offaly swore by a prophecy that never came true, leaving it very embarrassed about its reputation. It’s still waiting for the magic moment. Pretend you're a lost aristocrat, nobody will check.
IndicatedEnclosure · 702 ydExplorer Tom Enclosure in Charleville Demesne has no surface remains and is sick of being asked about its location. It’s just a ghostly outline on an old map from the past. Take a mate and argue about what it was for.
Saint Bartholomew's Church (Lynally)Church/chapel · 850 ydExplorer Tom Saint Bartholomew’s Church (Lynally) is now a house, so it teaches history by letting you live inside its past. The graveyard out front still keeps score of who left first. Great spot to prowl around the edges quietly.

Graveyard1.4 miExplorer Tom Graveyard in Kilbride is locked in a feud with the view over who gets to be photographed first. St Brigid’s well is right there too, so you can drink history and argue about aesthetics simultaneously without breaking a sweat. Hang around long enough and you'll hear a story from a local.
